This is terrific (but sadly only one day left to listen). UK poet Liz Berry on researching her great-aunt, who was sent to Canada as an orphaned child migrant in 1908, and effectively cut off from her remaining family. Includes readings from her recent collection "Home Child", imagining this woman's life. Moving and beautifully done.

Not cool, not impressive and entirely changeable, depending on how I feel.
