With novelist Karen Powell.

It’s the kind of summer morning when even the breeze is warm on your skin. The slow traffic of the city centre feels further away than it is – replaced by the hum of bees and chirrup of busy birds.

Karen Powell is a novelist living in the historic city of York, and in this episode, we’ve been invited into her garden. Our conversation meanders around the space, exploring different plants, memories, and what a garden can be. A repository of the past, an ode to someone loved, and a place to cultivate the future.

Produced with the support of Arts Council England. With music by Rob T and Danny Booth.
