About this Site

My name's Jonathan Pinnock. I write things and I'm also the host of the "It's Lit But Is It Funny?" podcast.

There's quite a lot of stuff on this site - indeed, it was recently described as “cavernous” - but if you want to find your way around, the sitemap is as good place to start as any.

If you'd like to contact me, e-mail here.
