Welcome to your pre-holiday Monday on The Brew. We'll be adding some extra horsepower to your new week at 12:10 with our team principal Tim Huxley, who’s all about the motorsport. At 12:40, we welcome newly minted author​, and arts administrator extraordinaire of many years standing, John Duffus​. John joins us on the line from Bangkok to talk about his brand-new book​ 'Backstage in Hong Kong'. Then at 1:25, we're off to Vietnam once again to catch up with ​Bureau ​Chief​-at​-large​, Neil Runcieman, ​who has all sorts of things to share with you as usual​. Join him on Facebook live if you can.
