Living Gratefully: Janey Godley opens up to Mona Siddiqui

The conversation podcast series Living Gratefully returns for a second season. In the first episode of the new series, Mona Siddiqui speaks to the multi award winning Scottish comedian, actor and writer Janey Godley. Raised in the east end of Glasgow, Janey knew early on she was funny and could tell a story. She began her stand up career in 1994 in a male-dominated environment. Here she speaks of growing up in poverty, her comedy and politics and her advice to struggling artists today, to go online and simply get out there. 

Om Podcasten

In a time like no other we have known before; a time when we are living closely with some, distantly from most others, this podcast series examines human relationships, how we form them and what they mean to us, against a background of what it means to feel gratitude.Our host, scholar and broadcaster Mona Siddiqui, asks the probing questions, and her guests – musician Ricky Ross, author Val McDermid, former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams among others – open their hearts and minds. Living Gratefully examines how gratitude shapes our relationships with others, and how cultural relationships shape public discourse.
