In Lemn Sissay Is The One And Only, the poet and broadcaster Lemn Sissay explores the idea of uniqueness across four different areas of his life, looking at situations where he stood out, alone, and examining how that uniqueness felt.

This week, he's the only foster child in the house, drawing upon his experience of growing up in care as well as his lifetime of advocacy for care leavers. Lemn talks about how how isolated and alone care leavers can feel, and why it matters to make them feel included. He speaks to Terry Galloway, about how his horrific experiences in care led to him travelling the country, getting councils to put more thought into how care leavers are treated. Lemn is also joined by Henry Normal, who interrupts at will to ask Lemn questions about the show.
