3. Being Kind

Jo draws on her nursing experiences and walking from Hull to Liverpool to give guidance on the vital life skill of being kind.

She applauds Billy Bragg for his motivational music and describes the moment he "almost" made her cry on telly.

Jo Brand turns advice giver in a typically irreverent guide to life.

She says she's messed up enough times to feel confident she has no wisdom to offer anyone. But who cares? She's doing it anyway.

Jo’s memoir reveals a side of herself that we don’t normally hear - the things she wishes she'd known and the things she hopes for the future.

As you’d expect, she pulls no punches.

Written and read by Jo Brand.

Abridged and produced by Pippa Vaughan

A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in December 2018.
