About this episode

Former <em>Blue Peter</em> presenter turned children's author <a href="https://konnie-huq.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Konnie Huq</a> chats to Gabby this week about a wide range of topics, including why she feels modern life is getting more and more absurd by the minute, how she wrestled with stereotyping in her younger years and ended up presenting TV before she had finished school, and why she thinks middle aged women rock! Konnie also explains why she is happy being an analogue person in a digital world, how her early experiences filming for Comic Relief informed her outlook on life, and why we might all benefit from being a little more patient and having slightly lower expectations. Despite declaring that she is not a podcast person, Konnie’s honesty cuts through the noise and will have many of you nodding in agreement!<hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
