Growing up gay in Perth, Australia, Troye Sivan spent much of his childhood trying to hide the parts of himself that made him different. Then one teacher made a small gesture that changed how he saw himself — recognising his talent, giving him a stage and showing him that he could be celebrated for taking his own path.

On London Bridge, Rosca Onya remembers Jack Merritt, the friend and mentor who was killed in the 2019 terror attack. He tells the story of their unlikely friendship, the programme that helped him rebuild his life after prison, and the devastating loss of a community built around the belief that everyone deserves a second chance.

David is a historian who has travelled all over the world and made a life studying Vietnam. At Hanoi’s Ngoc Son Temple in Hanoi, he talks about the stories places hold, the strange and wonderful things we encounter when we travel alone, and why there’s something worth seeing everywhere — if you know where to look.

Bilndboy is stood on a bridge over the Shannon in Limerick. It's raining. This is the centre of his world. It's a world that blindboy takes the time to explain to us in a way only he can. The starlings flying above; the Japanese knotweed growing below; the river and the rain. Everything is connected. And everything is there to be read.Pre order the AVFAB Book here - ⁠Waterstones⁠⁠Amason Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Helen has been driving trains for 18 years. Talking to us looking over a canal in London, she lets us into her world: solitude, pigeons, meals cooked in her cab and the inevitable leaves on the line all play a part in her day to day. She's found a job that suits the way her brain works, almost perfectly. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
