Live at the Oxford Literary Festival

Available for over a year

World-renowned actor and gay rights activist Sir Ian McKellen talks to the BBC’s Anu Anand about his life and work. US writers Dr Jessica Harris and Dr Jewell Parker Rhodes revel to Jo Fidgen what their grandmothers passed on to them, from culinary wisdom to a little old-fashioned magic. Have those relationships shaped their own identities and right now, is what it means to be an African American woman changing?
