BBC Sounds, Music, Radio Podcasts.

Hello, I've just nipped in before your BBC podcast starts to tell you all about

You're Dead to Me. We're the comedy podcast that takes history seriously. Also from the BBC

and presented by me, Greg Jenner. I should have told you that at the beginning. Sorry.

Anyway, like many other BBC podcasts, such as Desert Island Discs, Evil Genius, or In Our Time,

your dead to me is available first

on BBC Sounds, a whole

month earlier than anywhere else, in fact.

So if you can't wait another day

to hear the very latest in history

and loads of other good stuff, then listen

first on BBC Sounds.

Music loads of other good stuff, then listen first on BBC Sounds. Hello and welcome to the food chain from the BBC World Service. I'm Ruth Alexander. Food is at the

centre of family life on ordinary days, in the everyday rush, in the dramas, the quieter moments,

and at times of change. In this programme, we're revisiting some of the most meaningful moments from

2025, all shaped by the theme of

family ties. From first meals in unfamiliar homes to the way cooking can hold people together through

illness, these stories show how food has the capacity to strengthen family bonds and how its absence

can shape a life just as deeply.

So when I was living with my mum, I would describe us as below the poverty line.

We were very, very poor.

We experienced homelessness more times that I can probably count on one hand, which is hard for any young person.
