In GBA 52 we get better acquainted with my sister, Jo. She talks about being part of the Leytonstone community, teaching in inner-city schools, doing studies of single sex schooling, changing attitudes to gender within her lifetime, gardening as religion & more!\n\nWe also find ourselves wondering about the specifics of family events. These questions inspired me to make GBA Special coming out this Friday. In "To the Heart of It" I talk to Jo, last week\u2019s guest Sonia, previous guests Tony, and my Dad, about some big moments in our family history, getting different perspectives and shining a light on the way we interact as a family group. I also explore my own relation with my father\u2019s mortality and debut a new song from The Reactionaries.\n\nJo Plugs:\n\nAllotments and great teachers.\n\n"If you want to be happy for an hour get drunk, for a year get married, or for life be a gardener."\n\n\nYou can hear Getting Better Acquainted on Stitcher SmartRadio, Stitcher allows you to listen to your favourite shows directly from your iPhone, Android Phone, Kindle Fire and beyond.\n\nOn-demand and on the go!\n\nDon\u2019t have Stitcher?
