Breathtaking

Breathtaking: the UK's human story of Covid is written by Palliative Care Dr Rachel Clarke. Dr Clarke gives us an in-depth overview of the first four months of 2020 of the developing pandemic, where she describes the behind the scenes of NHS hospitals during that period of time. She shares how her colleagues dealt with the exponentially rising death toll, the neglect from the government and the fear many patients felt as they were taken into the intensive care unit. Former Junior Doctor, now Producer, Samara Linton (https://twitter.com/samara_linton) and Podcast Producer at Broccoli Productions, Jaja Muhammad (https://twitter.com/jaja__muhammad) discuss the themes behind book in depth with our host Diyora (https://twitter.com/thediyora).

Every month we'll be reading and discussing books that we believe push us to be inquisitive and give us a better understanding of society today. Hosted by multimedia journalist Diyora Shadijanova (@thediyora on Twitter and Instagram), the podcast features one book every month and will be released in two-part episodes. Part one is a group discussion of the book and part two is an interview with the author of the chosen book.
