Rev Kate talks to by TV presenter Dan Walker about his new book, 'Standing On The Shoulders’, which shines a light on many unsung heroes.

Reverend Kate Bottley presents uplifting stories about life, love and modern spirituality, alongside a great soundtrack for your Sunday morning.

Their guest is TV presenter Dan Walker, whose new book, 'Standing On The Shoulders’, shines a light on many unsung heroes and the kindness, compassion and selflessness which continues to characterise so many people and their actions. Dan tells Kate about the little-known superheroes, the influence they have on others and what we can all learn from them.

Writer Nadiyka Gerbish also joins to discuss her new book, A Ukrainian Christmas, which looks back through the country's rich and troubled history through the perspective of the festive season, introducing readers to Ukraine's unique Christmas traditions.
