This Father's Day special, Carl Chinn and some of our guests over
the passed year share the stories of the fathers and grandfathers
who made them. From a working class bookmaker who played football
on the rec and ran the school team because no teacher would, to a
Jamaican-Irish poet whose dad quoted Shakespeare and Kipling off
the cuff, from a German Jewish refugee who arrived aged 13 on the
Kindertransport to a boxing coach who spent nearly four decades
giving everything to lads from deprived Birmingham neighbourhoods
and never charged a single one, these are the men who stayed, who
worked, and who shaped the people around them in ways still being
felt.

This is an episode about presence and absence, inheritance and
identity.

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of the
Holocaust, the Kindertransport, family bereavement and Partition
violence. Please do take care whilst listening or skip this
episode if this could be distressing for you.
