Rachel Cockerell & Joe Dunthorne: Comparing Notes

Rachel Cockerell (Melting Point) and Joe Dunthorne (Children of Radium) have written two of the most surprising and inventive family memoirs in memory, through resourcing and reference, eyewitness testimony, and following their noses.

Hear them chat to Rodge Glass about their innovative accounts and methods of uncovering.
