NTS breakfast show presenter, DJ and writer Zakia Sewell gets together with Jude to chat about her choice of book for this week's episode - The Folk by Ross Cole.

Zakia has a lifelong interest in and love of folk in all its myriad forms and definitions - some of which they grapple with here!

Jude and Zakia also delve into childhood mix tapes, Albion, the quest for meaning in dark times and the complex politics of collecting folk songs.
