Hey Britain. On a day like today, you already know the absolutely perfect thing to eat.

It comes in a bowl, you eat it with a spoon, it's absolutely delicious and it'll warm you right through.

Of course it's soup. It has to be soup and of course it has to be Heinz.

Which leaves you with just one decision. Will it be a tried and trusted favorite or will one of the new hind soup flavours

tantalise your taste buds like spicy parsnip with a couple of chunks of warm

crusty bread topped with a little melted butter? You already know you're going to love it.

For warming comfort on a cold day, it has to be Heinz. Hello and

this is Francis Foster.

I'm Constantine Kitchen.

And this is a show for you if you're bored with people arguing on the internet over subjects they know nothing about.

A trigonometry, we don't pretend to be the experts.

We ask the experts.

Our brilliant guest this week is a journalist and an award-winning novelist.

Lionel Shriver, welcome to Chickanoi.

Thanks.

Nice to be here.

It's so good to have you here.

Well, let's, before we dive into things,

just tell most people will know exactly who you are,

but for anyone who doesn't,

tell everybody who are you, what's your story,

how, what's your journey through life
