GCSE revision, reading, and dancing animals with Carl Anka

It's GCSE revision season, and if you or your students need some extra motivation to review, BBC Bitesize and BBC Sounds have you covered with free podcasts covering a range of subjects from English literature to chemistry. In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper speaks with award-winning author, journalist, and podcaster Carl Anka about the English literature resources in which he played a big role. Carl Anka is a London-born journalist and broadcaster who has written for BBC, Guardian, VICE, NME, GQ and BuzzFeed and specialises in writing about pop culture, video games, films and football. Currently a reporter for sports media group The Athletic covering Manchester United, he is also the host of the Talk of the Devils podcast. Along with Marcus Rashford, Carl is the co-writer of You Are a Champion: How to Be the Best You Can Be – a positive and inspiring guide for life for young readers. Aside from the BBC resources, Carl and Luke talk about video games, self-control on social media, and how to get motivated to read. It all somehow all comes down to dancing animals...
