Acclaimed children's author Julia Donaldson talks about her new picture book Paper Chase, as well as the books she herself loved as a child.
Unschooled: the Story of a Family that Doesn't Fit In is the moving account of a mother trying to support and educate her daughters who aren’t able to attend school in the conventional way. Writer Caro Giles tells Len more.
Len speaks to hip-hop artist and writer Owen Sutcliffe and actor Robbie Gordon from the play that was a hit at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe and which is currently on its first UK tour. Oran is a re-working of the Greek myth of Orpheus, where the underworld is the dystopian reality of social media and the smartphone era.
