Stacey Dooley returns to BBC Sounds and Radio 5 Live with her new podcast series, meeting impressive individuals as they start a new chapter in their lives.

In this first episode, Stacey meets Tash, who has plucked up the courage to learn how to read at the age of 44. For 20 years, Tash's friends and colleagues had no idea she couldn't read - as she had developed many ingenious ways of covering it up. Stacey finds out how the situation has impacted Tash's life, why she decided to make a change and what the next chapter might have in store...
