Noo's Nook
by Niamh Jones
Hosted by Niamh Jones, Noo's Nook is a cosy exploration of the arts, with each week discussing what I have been reading and watching that has made me think. Tune in to hear about a new book, film and sometimes even a play. It is in the arts that we find empathy, the opportunity to learn about ourselves and the world. But, there is also comfort to be found. So, curl up with a cup of tea and listen to find your next obsession... Or just learn something new!
