BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Kate Nash

Author Emma Kennedy, former agony uncle Matt Whyman, The Feeling's Dan Gillespie Sells.

Singer and actor Kate Nash, Anna Kilpatrick on making the best of what you have, former agony uncle Matt Whyman, Dan Gillespie Sells' Inheritance Tracks and author Emma Kennedy.

Kate Nash joins Richard Coles and Nikki Bedi. The singer and actress talks about why going back on tour is so important, the steps taken to achieve longevity in the music industry, the 15th anniversary of her debut album Made of Bricks and life in LA.

Anna Kilpatrick's life changed dramatically after her husband had a stroke age 38. She's now an advocate for making the best of what you have, and living well with less.

Matt Whyman has trouble saying no. When asked to be an agony uncle, he said yes, despite having no experience whatsoever. Matt’s stint as Bliss Magazine’s Love Doctor lasted 18 years. His inability to say no also led to his garden being destroyed by pet pigs and his time consumed with the desire to run ultramarathons.

Dan Gillespie Sells shares his Inheritance Tracks: City of Dreams by Talking Heads and Together Again by Janet Jackson.

Emma Kennedy is a best-selling author and TV writer, actor and presenter. Following the death of her mother, Emma found letters that her mother Brenda had written to her. They helped Emma understand her mother better – someone she had always had a complicated relationship with.

Kate Nash's UK tour starts on May 23rd in Brighton and then continues at various venues until the 1st June, in Birmingham. More details at katenash.com
