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.

BBC Sounds, music, radio podcasts.

Hi, I'm Kirsty Young, and this is Young again, my podcast for BBC Radio 4.

What conversations would you have with your younger self?

How do you reflect on the big decisions you've made?

What have you learned from your life so far?

One of the things I've learned in a working life that's allowed me to talk to a lot of high achievers and superstars is that enduring decades-long success and fame is never an accident. But mostly the people

who've achieved it are pretty reluctant to truly open up on the strategies and sacrifices that got

and kept them there. A fairy tale, after all, isn't meant to major on pain and struggle and heartache.

Well, this conversation is with a woman who sees things differently. In this edition of Young Again, I'm in conversation with the

actress, producer and writer Jada Pinkett Smith. The first thing I want to say is congratulations.

Thank you.

I've never read anything like it in my life.
