Sir Lenny Henry

Reverend Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad talk to Sir Lenny Henry about identity and faith after the publication of his memoir 'Who Am I, Again?'.

Reverend Kate Bottley and Jason Mohammad talk to Sir Lenny Henry about identity and faith after the publication of his memoir 'Who Am I, Again?'. In the middle of his one man tour, Sir Lenny takes time out to share stories of his upbringing, his Mum and what brought him to comedy.

Plus, all week on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio 2 we've been hearing stories about fertility, from women and men who are trying to conceive and become parents to mark National Fertility Week.

As the week draws to a close, our Charity Champion Natasha Necati explains how her personal experience of multiple miscarriages inspired her to help support people who’ve also been through it at the Miscarriage Association. She has advice on what to say, and how to care for loved ones who’ve had a miscarriage.

And we meet Rev Elis Matthews, a young vicar dubbed the ‘Rapping Reverend’ for his poetry, some of which addresses his own experience with male infertility.
