Marchelle Farrell & Harriet Gibsone

Marchelle Farrell is a writer, medical psychotherapist, and amateur gardener. She was born in Trinidad and Tobago, and has spent 20 years attempting to become hardy here in the UK. Marchelle talks (to Isabel Berwick) about her book "Uprooting: From the Caribbean to the Countryside – Finding Home in an English Country Garden".

Harriet Gibsone began her career as a runner for MTV before becoming a music journalist at cult noughties free-press The Fly, and Guardian columnist. As a self-professed creep, she lives in fear of her internet searches being leaked. Harriet talks (to Michelle Kambasha) about her new memoir "Is This OK? One woman's search for connection online".

Both conversations recorded at the Talking Shop.
