11 | Nicky Campbell & Esther Cameron

Broadcaster Nicky Campbell first met his birth sister Esther as adults, after they had independently traced their Irish birth mother. Both had been given up for adoption as babies, grew up in Edinburgh and were left with complicated feelings around belonging. In his new book 'One of the Family' Nick tells the whole story of his breakdown, diagnosis as bi-polar and being saved by the love of his dog, Maxwell. In this episode of Relatively, he and Esther share their parallel stories and reflect on questions of identity, family and the bond they now share as siblings.   Hosted on Acast.

For most of us, our relationships with our brothers and sisters are the longest lasting of our lives, sometimes spanning 80 or 90 years. Sibling relationships come before friendships or romances, and usually outlive any links with our parents. On Relatively, Catherine Carr will bring siblings together to talk about the connections they have with each other as adults, as well as what it was like growing up. But she'll also talk to them separately, to get a private take on the relationship. Expect nostalgia, honesty and lots of teasing.Relatively is a Pocket Production Hosted on Acast.
