Steve Bland and best selling writer Christie Watson join Kate and Jason.

Christie Watson worked as a nurse for 20 years and her book about that experience has become an international best seller.

The broadcaster Rachael Bland was a well known voice on 麻豆社 Radio 5Live. After she was diagnosed with breast cancer Rachael reached a new audience as the co-presenter of her podcast, You, Me and the Big C. Last year Rachael was told that her cancer was terminal. Before her death in September, Rachael told Kate and Jason that she was working on a book to ensure that her young son Freddie would have something to remember her by. The book is now out and Rachael's husband Steve joins the programme to tell Kate and Jason about Rachael's legacy and the messages in the book that we can all learn something from.

Christie Watson worked as an NHS registered nurse for over 20 years and she has written about that experience in a book that has become an international best seller. 'The Language of Kindness', chronicles a profession that we will all come into contact with during our lives.

Musician Newton Faulkner is our Charity Champion and the Dean of Blackburn Cathedral calls into the studio to tell Kate and Jason why they have started selling their own brand of gin.
