Since the middle of December I have found myself at every opportunity either downloading or listening to BBC 4's Desert Island Discs podcast. Whereas before I'd put on a YouTube video, Netflix or some music on Spotify, I now find myself listening to either Roy Plomley, Michael Parkinson, Sue Lawley or Kirsty Young interviewing some of my favourite people in the whole world. I think a reason why I love this programme so much is that by making a person choose only 8 songs, 8 songs out of all the hundreds of millions of songs in the world, it allows you to learn a lot about a person - sometimes more that words could ever say.
Over the past few weeks, whether I've been cooking, reading, working or dozing I've been enjoying learning more about my favourite actors, writer, politicians and musicians while also discovering a whole host of new names and voices that I am now big fans of as a result of their story and personality but let's be honest, if they pick a great tune then I don't really care who they are, I am instantly in love with them!
