These are crazy times. Everybody's apart and personally I miss squeezing people.

I'm physically seeing people but our sponsors on Pust still give you loads of ways to stay connected.

So for that I am very thankful.

Sun coming in through the window, creating a round for a Zoom pub quiz that totally messes with people's heads, and rice

pudding, ideally with a little bit of skin on it. There are a million things that I'm thankful

for today, but what is my guest thankful for? I love that we as humans got the whole story,

story thing, the point of like holding onto a story and telling that story to someone else.

Welcome to Thanks a Million.

I'm Angela Scanlon and this is the show that takes a sneaky look at my guest's gratitude list to find out the things that have shaped their lives.

This week we speak to spoken word artist, poet, rapper and podcasting legend, George

the poet. His show, Have You Heard,'s podcast has won five British podcast awards and has also

been recently nominated for a Peabody Award.

That's big, lads.

That's very big.

The first ever British,

actually the first ever European podcast,

to be nominated for such an accolade.

Good word.

George isn't all about the hype though,

which I absolutely love.

He has stuck to his principles throughout his career, even turning down an MBA.

More on that later.
