On this episode of the ParalympicsGB podcast, Hannah Cockroft takes a break from chatting to fellow Paralympic athletes and instead invites star of the small screen, TV Presenter Sophie Morgan to the podcast.

Sophie has been named one of the most influential disabled people in the UK and has become a keen advocate for disability rights since she was paralysed in a car accident at the age of 18. She talks to Hannah about how that moment led her to her career in TV, her pride in being involved in the ground-breaking coverage of the London 2012 Paralympic Games and she invites Hannah out for a ride on her motorbike (or rather, as you'll hear, trike).
