James Oswald is the Sunday Times-bestselling author of dozens of books including the Edinburgh-based Inspector Tony McLean series of supernatural crime novels. He's also a Fife farmer, and particularly proud of his breeding herd of Highland cattle.
Monty's a big fan of James' books, and jumped at the chance to pay him a visit for the podcast.
This is the first of two episodes recorded at James' home.
