Join bestselling travel writer and journalist Dan Richards as he discusses his new book 'Overnight'.
There is something special about the night. For many, it conjures thoughts of starlit skies, romance, refuge, of being tucked up in bed. For some, it means fear, vulnerability, danger, sleeplessness. Dan Richards takes personal journeys where he explores what the night means to others. From night terrors and insomnia, parenthood issues and the men and woman of emergency services to the endurance car race at 24 Heures du Mans and dawn on the summer solstice, he tries s to explain the uniqueness of nighttime.
