Barbara Taylor Bradford, Carers, Women in motorsports

Available for over a year

How easy is it for women to make their way in motorsports racing? We hear from two women with different experiences. Novelist Barbara Taylor Bradford discusses the importance of letter writing in the digital age and reveals why she treasures a hand-written letter which was sent to her by the wife of Winston Churchill. We discuss a recent report calling for more support for older carers whose own health is endangered as a result of looking after others and ask how GPs could help lighten their load. Ksenija Sidorova has taken accordion playing to world class level. She plays live in the studio and puts the case for the accordion to be recognised as a fully-fledged classical instrument. Presented by Jane Garvey.
