John McCarthy

In an uncertain world John McCarthy's Pick of the Week serves as a reminder that there is still love and compassion: in the powerful testimony of devoted nurses and an inspiring young carer, from family, friends, and strangers. There's immigrant parakeets in the park, and a warning from history to guard against hate. We hear from women defying convention, and an old friend’s profound musings from nature under lockdown, plus music to soothe the soul, and to make you laugh.
