Bear Grylls - surprisingly middle of the road song choices (pretty bad - except one). Rather think his heart is still in the SAS...

Mary Berry - a delightful snapshot of life. A sprinkle of real tragedy but a rich and courageous lifetime @sueperkins @ZoeMitchinson

Sister Francis - a most inspiring listen. To find contentment in simplicity - enviable in an age of endless stimulus.

Miriam Rothschild - easily the most wonderful DID yet. Genuinely sad that I didn't know more about her when she was alive

Margaret Atwood - inspirational writer, really interesting to hear how people write. Beautiful effortless phrases, though somewhat monotone.
Lady Warnock - not a fall off your seat castaway but fantastic music choices and very interesting mid 1980's take on genetics and stem cells
