Hello Friends,

Episode Three of the OneTrackMinds podcast features two stories about love, death and some creative ways of utilising cremains…

The first is from writer Charlie Gilmour, and explores his relationship with his childhood dog John.

Charlie’s wonderful memoir Featherhood is absolutely gorgeous. Neil Gaiman called it “the most powerful work of biography I’ve read in years”, and he’s not wrong. You can get a copy from the OneTrackMinds Bookshop.

Our second story is from theatre director Roxana Silbert. When we first met Roxana, she told us that she was very much a ‘behind-the-scenes’ operator, and although she’s worked in theatre for decades, she was not used to public speaking. Not that you’d know it from her story and her command of the audience - it’s a knockout, and one for the ages.

As ever, we aren’t able to include the tracks in our podcast for rights reasons, but here they are for you to listen to at leisure.

And if you want to experience the life-changing power of music live in person, come along to our next live show at Kings Place in King’s Cross, London, on Thursday September 19th, when our guests will be Katherine Parkinson, Shaun Keaveny, Doug Naylor, Dorian Lynskey and Rachel Fairburn. Tickets are available now.

Huge thanks to our producer Haresh Patel.

Thanks for listening. We’ll be back next week.
