Chris Jackson & Kwame Asante: They've Made Us Episode Three

This week's show includes a 2020 Royal Institution Christmas Lecture reunion as the geologist Professor Chris Jackson is one of our special guests. Chris of course gave the 2020 lectures alongside our They've Made Us co-host Dr Helen Czerski. Our second guest is the stand up comedian, and NHS A&E doctor, Dr Kwame Asante and they, along with co-host Robin Ince, reveal their inspirations, the value of great teachers and the major role yams can play in your life...
Hosted by Dr Helen Czerski and Robin Ince and presented in association with the Royal Institution.
In this show we want to know who inspired the people that inspire us. Each guest will invite the people who formed the ideas that have shaped their work, inspiration, creativity and life. Some may be heroes and, some may be villains, a few may be in-between. They may be alive. They may be dead. They might even be fictional.
