BBC Radio 4 - One to One, Personality: Katya Adler talks to James Cracknell

Katya Adler talks to James Cracknell about personality and how it can change.

Katya Adler has always been fascinated by personality - can we change or fake it? For her first conversation, she meets James Cracknell whose personality changed after brain injury

For more than twenty years, from war zones to the seats of political power, Katya Adler has interviewed, observed, told people's stories. And she's always been fascinated by what makes people tick - their personality. Can we change or fake it?
In the first of three programmes, Katya meets Olympic athlete and vice-president of Headway, James Cracknell, who suffered an injury to the brain a decade ago which caused some of his personality traits to change. Katya and James discuss the impact of the injury on James's personality, the extent to which personality is observed by people around us and how our personalities can evolve. 
Producer: Camellia Sinclair

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
