Benjamin Zephaniah and the Cathedral Vaccination Centres

Benjamin Zephaniah talks about the power of poetry after the US Presidential inauguration and Kate and Jason find out how you turn a Cathedral into a vaccination hub.

22-year old poet Amanda Gorman wowed viewers around the world with her poem 'The Hill We Climb' at Joe Biden's inauguration this week. One of our best-loved poets Benjamin Zephaniah joins Rev Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad for a chat to reflect on the moment. Plus he's published a new children's book about what it was like to be a child of the Windrush generation and chats about being part of the hugely successful Birmingham mob drama Peaky Blinders, which has just started filming it's final series.

Plus the Dean of Lichfield Cathedral Adrian Dorber tells Kate and Jason how they turned their place of worship into a vaccination centre, and Salisbury Cathedral organist, David Halls, discusses how to choose a playlist to help people relax whilst waiting for their jab.

And Rabbi Robyn Ashworth-Stein joins us to Pause for Thought.
