Reasons to be Cheerful with Ed Miliband & Geoff Lloyd
News:Politics
Hello, as part of Cheerful Book Club we're welcoming our first ever Pulitzer Prize winner onto the show. Andrea Elliott talks about her new book Invisible Child: Poverty, Survival and Hope in New York City. Almost a decade in the making, the book follows a young girl, Dasani, as she grows up without a home in New York City. We talk to Andrea about what it's like to win a Pulitzer, the role of the journalist, Obama and her reasons for hope and optimism.
Plus: Ed has crossed the pond and we hear about an improbable new sport for Geoff to turn his hand to.
