EMMA MITCHELL & MARINA BENJAMIN - Having a Cup of Tea In Debenhams

Joining Tom Jackson to discuss the postcards from their pasts are author, maker and blogger EMMA MITCHELL (Making Winter, The Wild Remedy) and writer MARINA BENJAMIN (Insomnia, Last Days in Babylon, The Middlepause, Rocket Dreams, Living at the End of the World). In this episode we explore the therapeutic and educational benefits of collecting anything and postcards in particular, and travel to Baghdad to see glimpses of a lost city. Along the way we ponder the perfectly placed pebble and waterskiing down the Thames. Wish you were here?
