Beetroot, Family with Mary Jean Chan & Robin Coste Lewis


Listen Later

If anyone asks, we're a perfectly normal family. In this week's episode, Lottie and Marta ask; what does it mean to have difficult conversations with our loved ones, what lessons have we learnt so far from the people who've known us our entire lives. We don't get to choose our family, but what if we could? Lottie brought along 'Conversation with Fantasy Mother' by Mary Jean Chan, a poem that sets free the queer heart.

Call your family, and tell them to give this one a listen.
