Prue Leith on her late Bake Off fame and early life in apartheid South Africa; how we might save the planet by planting trees; how reading aloud can promote good mental health.

There’s more to Prue Leith than The Great British Bake Off, as Richard finds out. Her Bake Off fame hides a fascinating life, from growing up in apartheid South Africa to a Michelin star winning restaurateur.

After one of the wettest months in memory, even more people are talking about climate change. Author Max Adams has put his knowledge from years of planting and nurturing trees into one small book packed with ideas about how we might start healing the planet.

How would you feel about swapping the usually silent activity of reading to reading aloud in a group? A leading medical authority says it’s ‘the most significant development in mental healthcare in the past 10 years’. Richard talks to Professor Philip Davis and Marjorie Lotfi Gill, co-founder of Open Book.
