Welcome to The Power of a Book podcast. The only podcast with the power to eradicate book poverty in children. It's a podcast with purpose.
Join our host, BAFTA-nominated comedian and author Rachel Parris (The Late Night Mash), as she talks with some much-loved public figures about the children's books that have been powerful enough to shape their lives.
A kind of desert-island-children's-book show - so who better to kick us off than the lovely Lauren Laverne?
Over the series, Rachel Parris brings listeners into intimate conversations where guests explore their literary inheritance and celebrate the universal power of stories to connect and inspire us all.
Brought to you by The Children's Book Project - the national charity that takes your preloved, unwanted children’s books and gives them to families with few, if any, of their own.
Just by listening, you help us achieve our goal - to eliminate book poverty in children.
