Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Illustrator & TED Fellow George Butler on Why He Draws in Conflict Zones
Q: How do you describe what you do and why is drawing suited to storytelling in conflict zones?
Drawing serves as a slow, humane tool that allows subjects to share their stories intimately, creating a human connection that cameras alone can't always achieve and helping audiences feel the person behind the headlines.
The Godfather of Modern Poetry, Roger McGough CBE
Q: Did you really enjoy those times?
Yes, he enjoyed his early experiences and the spontaneity of performing poetry and comedy despite the economic challenges of the time.
The Godfather of Modern Poetry, Roger McGough CBE
Q: Do you think everyone can benefit from poetry?
Yes, everyone should write poetry; it's important for mental health and creativity, helping to express thoughts and feelings in different ways.
The Godfather of Modern Poetry, Roger McGough CBE
Q: So where did your love of poetry come from and how did you really discover it in the first place, Roger?
Roger shares that it wasn't around much during his childhood, but his mother encouraged him to read. He took elocution lessons where he discovered poetry and enjoyed reciting it, which sparked his interest.
Inside the Mind of Biographer Howard Sounes
Q: What was it about the Fred West story that compelled you to write the book?
Sounes detailed his ambitions to write a book about the murders due to the exceptional nature of the case, his inside sources, and a desire to produce a work of high literary standard like In Cold Blood.
