Each week, The Why Word gets under the skin of entrepreneurs, business leaders, creatives and people who make things happen to find out what makes them tick. Presented by Ian Hawkins.

Simon Fanshawe is a comedian-turned-actvist. The first-ever winner of the prestigious Perrier Award, Simon became one of the founder members of gay rights organisation, Stonewall UK. We talked about the huge changes in attitudes that have evolved as a result of the campaigning, and look at the tactics that made them successful.

Simon's dream lunch companion is a bridge-building US President.

The Why Word is a TBD Media Group Production
