What book do you recommend and why?  

The Names by Florence Knapp. I like to read and celebrate contemporary, debut authors. This story is a skillful, interwoven narrative, written from three different perspectives where each character’s journey is shaped by the name chosen for them at birth. It really makes you consider your own name and how its different influences guide and form your path through life.

 

What podcast do you recommend and why? 

Life Changing (BBC podcast) Each episode charts an extraordinary or unusual event, in an everyday person’s life, and explains who they are, and how their life has been impacted and shaped by this. There’s such a diverse range of stories to listen to, and it’s really inspiring to hear people talk about their experiences and how they dealt with them.
