THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST29 Nov 2020

EP.142 - BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH

Adam talks with British poet, writer and musician Benjamin Zephaniah.

PLEASE BE AWARE: During the first 10 minutes of our conversation Benjamin told me about some relatives suffering with the effects of COVID and included some details that may be upsetting to hear for people who have lost loved ones to the disease. So if you're worried, skip past those first ten minutes and you should be OK. It's not all pandemic chat though - mainly Benjamin describes fascinatingly how managed to make the transition from angry young criminal to internationally celebrated writer.

Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and to Anneka Myson for additional editing.
