#500 EPISODES: All Saints (Ep#5)

How can you NOT be inspired by Billy Monger. In his new book Billy is encouraging young people to find their drive, to challenge themselves and maximise their potential. All from a young man who became a double-amputee just before his 18th birthday, but thanks to his own incredible drive, as well as the love and support of those around was quickly back in a single-seater (he actually got his race licence back just ELEVEN weeks after the accident). His honesty about his accident and his incredible passion for life and adventure are infectious - you absolutely cannot listen to this interview and not feel a new lease of life.

What a joy it is to have Reverend Richard Coles back on the podcast. His new book (a novella!) A Carol and a Killing is out now In this chat we talk about his extraordinarily high testosterone count, swearing at bus drivers and getting a dog. None of these were on our list of questions at the start of the conversation. Is that always the best way! Cheers, xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back! And back with a bang. My Sister's Keeper Small Great Things The Pact Nineteen Minutes These are just some of the massive best-sellers written by my guest in this episode, Jodi Picoult. If you haven't read her books - just consider this; In 2017 Jodi was named in the Top 10 Harvard alumni shaping the world. Some of the other names on the list... Jeff Bezos, Michelle Obama, Eric Schmidt (Then Google's CEO) and Robert Mueller (Director of the FBI). Her books fly off the shelves around the globe - she's sold over 60million copies of her novels. You can order her latest book Hollow Bones here And she's one of my favourite authors. I hope you enjoy this conversation - it's GREAT to be back. Cheers, xx Hosted on Acast.

We've rewound all the way back to the beginning this week - and the first month of the podcast. The original billing read: "Kate Thornton poses three questions to three well-known faces over three glasses of wine. On this episode: Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, The Worst Witch star Nicola Stephenson and The Detail lead Angela Griffin" We will be BACK with brand new episodes after our summer break in a couple of weeks - watch out for that we're already lining-up some fabulous guests and planning something big for our 500th episode in early October.
