Rev Kate and Jason talk to actress Harriet Thorpe about her role in the iconic play Steel Magnolias, and author Matt Cain joins to chat about his new book Becoming Ted.
Reverend Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad present heart-warming stories about life, love and modern spirituality, alongside a great soundtrack for your Sunday morning.
This morning their guest is actress Harriet Thorpe, best known for her roles as Carole in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s The Brittas Empire and Fleur in Absolutely Fabulous. She tells Kate and Jason about her latest role, playing Ousier Boudreaux in the iconic play Steel Magnolias, and what sparked her love of acting. She also looks back on her many career highlights, and shares the joy of her long running relationship with Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French and working with them for the last 40 years.
Also, author Matt Cain is back on the programme to chat about his new book Becoming Ted, which is about a 43-year-old man living in the north west of England who's dumped by his husband and decides to see this as an opportunity to turn his life around, and finally pursue his dream of being a drag queen! Key themes of the novel are conquering low self-esteem, grabbing second chances, and the transformative power of drag.
