Stella Duffy and Rufus Wright

Hello friends, Welcome to this week’s episode of the OneTrackMinds podcast, featuring two very moving stories about loss and resilience. Our first guest is the novelist and campaigner Stella Duffy. Stella was born in London, but spent her childhood in New Zealand, and that country’s culture has had a big influence on her approach to life, as you’ll hear in her story. As well as publishing seventeen novels, she’s also the founder of the Fun Palaces campaign, an annual festival of culture designed to increase access to the arts. After the break, we hear from actor and artist Rufus Wright. His screen credits include Quantum of Solace, Rogue One and Operation Mincemeat, while his work in theatre has seen him cast as both David Cameron and Tony Blair in Peter Morgan’s stage play The Audience. Unfortunately, due to rights reasons, we can’t play our storytellers’ chosen songs in the podcast, but you can listen to them by following these links: Nightswimming by R.E.M.
