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.
