BBC Radio 4 - Susan Calman Makes Me Happy, Episode 4

Susan Calman explores why animals bring her such happiness.

Susan Calman explores the things in her life that bring her true happiness. This week, she talks about her love for animals. And not just cats, you know.

Taking part in Strictly Come Dancing made Susan Calman happy. Completely, totally happy. And having lived with anxiety for so long, it was something of a surprise to discover something new that gave her feelings of joy. So, in Susan Calman Makes Me Happy, she explores and explains the other things in life that bring her happiness.

This week, aided and abetted by her studio audience and her wife Lee, Susan waxes lyrical about her love for animals. She may have previously mentioned (once or twice) that she’s quite partial to cats, but her affections aren’t limited to the feline world. From the dogs in her local park, via the birds that visit her garden, to grumpy Icelandic Ponies (well, sort of), Susan adores them all. 

Produced by Lyndsay Fenner
Written by Susan Calman and Jon Hunter
