Author and illustrator Charlie Mackesy in a special takeover of the 'Positivity Playlist'.

In celebration of Father's Day, Charlie shares six tracks with Dr Rangan Chatterjee on the theme of 'connection'.

Mackesy began his career as a cartoonist for The Spectator and has since gone on to have his award-winning work featured in galleries, hospitals, prisons, churches and university colleges all around the UK.

He has worked with Richard Curtis on the set of Love Actually and also with Nelson Mandela, but his best-known work is his book ‘The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse’ - a beautiful and inspiring story all about love and friendship.

In this extended Positivity Playlist, he talks about the importance of connection, whether it's with music, those we love, or even historical moments that shape who we are today.
