Hello!

I've slightly changed the format of my podcast to reflect my mantra: be who you want to be. Every human being has an interesting story to tell - so I thought I would go out (/ stay in - lockdown!) and meet some people who are being who they want to be!

Hopefully that will inspire you and help you realise that what ever you are dreaming of becoming can be real!

This week I meet the really funny Katie Pritchard and find out what led to her becoming a comedian (and actor and musician and pretty all round fabulous!

And the book of the week is 'The Good Hawk' by Joseph Elliott.

My sound quality isn't great during the interview, I'm afraid - but it WILL be better next week!

You can find Katie at

You can find me at @mamagstories on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.

I wasn't going to do a podcast this week... but I go SO worried about the Coronavirus that I decided to write a story to calm myself down!

This story is about Corona Virus, a spy who is on a mission to discover how humans run the world - and her superior is quite surprised by what she finds out.

I found that by giving the virus a character and a harmless, non-scientific back story - my brain was able to deal with the overload of information much better!

Helloooooooooo!

I'm squeezing in a last podcast before the end of LGBT History Month here in the UK; so this week's story is a twist in 'Cinderella', that I'm calling 'Cinder-Fella' - you'll never guess what the twist is! And my book of the week is 'Frog and Toad' by Arnold Lobel.

And make sure you listen to the end so that you catch my new poem: 'A Family Poem' - my ode to all the beautiful and varied families out there!

My book of the week was influenced by some work I saw on Instagram, particularly @elizacrofts - so go and give her a follow and have a look at her beautiful work!
