Before this BBC podcast kicks off, I'd like to tell you about some others you might enjoy.

My name's Will Wilkin and I Commission Music Podcast for the BBC.

It's a really cool job, but every day we get to tell the incredible stories behind songs,

moments and movements, stories of struggle and success, rises and falls, the funny, the ridiculous.

And the BBC's position, at the heart of British music

means we can tell those stories like no one else.

We were, are and always will be right there at the centre of the narrative.

So whether you want an insightful take on music right now

or a nostalgic deep dive into some of the most famous and infamous moments in music,

check out the music podcasts on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I'm Kirsty Young. Welcome to Young again, the podcast that asks fascinating people,

what advice would you give your younger self?

Today I'm joined by a legendary athlete and campaigner whose sporting achievements are

honestly remarkable. They include 11 Paralympic goals, six London Marathon victories and

30-odd world records, just in case you're counting. After retiring from

wheelchair racing in 2007, she has gone on to be a cross-bench peer, ceaselessly campaigning for

legislative change and an improved understanding of disability. On this edition of Young again,

I'm speaking to Baroness Tanny Gray Thompson. It's very nice to have you

here. Thanks for coming. Thank you very much. It's lovely. You then of course, as most people

know, had this glittering athletics career. You retired from that in what about 2007, was it?

Yeah, very early 2007. You strike me as not a particularly nostalgic person. So I'm one, I don't know if I'm right about that. So how do you feel about a reflective conversation? Is that a comfortable place to be? No, you're absolutely right because I've got this big list of things that I want to do and whether it was in my sports career or my political career. So I try and learn from the mistakes I've made in the past.
