Bonus episode - Frank Skinner opens up to Amol

Every week on The Today Podcast Amol and Nick share something
significant that’s happened to them that week and they call it
their ‘moment of the week’.


But as Nick’s on holiday, Amol invited one of Britain’s best
known comedians, Frank Skinner, to The Today Podcast studio to
help him out.


And they ended up talking for so long about faith, class,
parenthood, grief - and, of course, poetry, we’ve made it into a
bonus podcast.


Frank Skinner has been a stand-up comedian for 30 years. He
presented Fantasy Football in the 1990s alongside David Baddiel
and for co-created the anthem of English football, 'Three Lions’.


But you may not know that he is also a practising Catholic, reads
poetry every day, and is striving to write cleaner comedy
material.
