Exclusive discussion with Dione Venables, editor of a brand new collection of George Orwell poetry, and Greg Wise, actor and narrator.

In this exclusive interview, actor and producer Greg Wise and voice artist Rose Smith join us to discuss the release of Not That Kind of Love. A memoir coauthored by Clare and Greg Wise, it proves to be a surprisingly humorous and life-affirming book about life, death, love and cancer. We talk to Greg and Rose about the writing and recording process of the audiobook, their relationship with Clare, their favourite memories of her and the reasons why they choose to celebrate her life instead of mourn her passing.
