AMOL RAJAN: NOTHING CAN PREPARE YOU FOR THE DEATH OF A PARENT

À propos de cet épisode

<p>Amol Rajan is a master of tough conversations - from conducting Phillip Schofield’s first interview to speaking to the likes of Novak Djokovic, Richard Branson and Greta Thunberg. However, I never imagined that I would find my conversation with Amol so challenging for myself, effortlessly opening me up.</p><br><p>Having become the editor of the Independent aged 29, Amol’s hard work ethic has seen him take over from Jeremy Paxman as host of University Challenge and presenting Radio 4’s Today Programme. But behind the glamour of an illustrious career, Amol and his wife were living through the rollercoaster of IVF and grieving the loss of his father. We talk about our relationships with our fathers and cherishing the time we have together.</p><br><p>This conversation went a direction I did not foresee but am so thankful for - it reminded me of the power of conversation and connection to unlock parts of ourselves perhaps we didn’t realise we had inside.</p><br><p>You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk</p><br><p>If you or anyone you know has been affected by suicidal thoughts, you can head to CALM to find support: www.thecalmzone.net</p><p>--</p><p>THE CREDITS</p><p>Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone</p><p>Assistant Producer: Gurlina Heer</p><p>Video: Jake Ji &amp; Ryley Kirby</p><p>Social Media: Laura Coughlan</p><br><p>Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
