32. Selfishness


Listen Later

Selfishness is something we never want to be accused of, but without it, we might never get what we want. Mae, Ned and guest host Alison Spittle are joined by comedian Daliso Chaponda to try to figure out when selfishness is okay and when it can be damaging. Ned heads to hospital, Alison takes on selfish generations, Bisha K Ali says selfishness isn't all that bad and Steve Ali explains how a funny hat could have saved him a lot of hardship.

Co-created by Deborah Frances-White for The Spontaneity Shop and BBC Radio 4.

Produced by Al Riddell

Music by Mark Hodge and Omahrose, produced by Nick Sheldon.
