Hi Anthems listeners, here's a podcast we think you'll love; it's called This City, hosted by Clara Amfo. The podcast is a love letter to London, revealing the stories behind her guests’ love affair with the capital. In a time where community is more important than ever, these conversations get to the heart of what makes London so special.

Season 1 saw brilliant guests like Louis Theroux, Mark Ronson, the Sugababes and Little Simz, and the new season takes a deep-dive into more fascinating names who have a unique connection with the City – including Zadie Smith, Reni Eddo-Lodge, and Munya Chawawa to name a few.

Here's a clip from the new season featuring athlete, broadcaster and Strictly sensation Alex Scott. If you like what you hear, search This City wherever you get your podcasts to listen to the full episode!
