Michael Rosen
Michael Rosen on survival, Nikki Amuka Bird on performing, 'slow' cycling with Susanna Thornton, Nick Acheson on geese and rugby's Chris Robshaw's Inheritance Tracks.
Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles are joined by Michael Rosen: Bear Hunt writer, broadcaster, covid survivor, national treasure… he tells us about his life lessons.
Susanna Thornton tells us about her lifelong association with cycling and freedom – which led to a mammoth cycle from Hong Kong to London and many much smaller, wild bikepacking trips in the UK, which she documents online. She joins us.
Actor Nikki Amuka Bird joins us to talk about her route into acting and her latest role.
Nature writer and conservationist Nick Acheson spent winter 2020 on his mum’s red bike following the hundreds of thousands of geese that descend on his native Norfolk, he joins us.
Former rugby union player Chris Robshaw chooses his tracks: If You Don’t Know Me By Now by Simply Red and California King Bed by Rihanna and we have your thank you.
