Reverend Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad present heart-warming stories about life, love and modern spirituality, alongside a great soundtrack for your Sunday morning.

Poet, performer, broadcaster and scriptwriter Michael Rosen joins Kate and Jason to discuss his memoir Getting Better.

In spite of this he has survived, and has even learned to find joy. He shares his story and the lessons he has learned along the way.

Michael Rosen is one of the best-known figures in the children’s book world. He is Professor of Children’s Literature at Goldsmiths, University of London and visits schools with his one-man show to enthuse children with his passion for books and poetry. In 2007 he was appointed Children’s Laureate, a role which he held until 2009. While Laureate, he set up The Roald Dahl Funny Prize. He currently lives in London with his wife and child.
