Ground-breaking author and book influencer Claire Linney takes us back in time with her flashback track, Groove is in the Heart by Deee-Lite!

Join me, Thomas Leeds, as we explore Claire's memories of her incredible journey from growing up hating history lessons in the '80s and '90s to studying at Oxford (where she was head of an acapella group) to the moment in lockdown as a new mum, reading about the Black Tudors, when she decided she would write a refreshing kids adventure series (with lots of time-travelling) and she would get it published, with or without permission...

This was such a wonderful chat and as well as talking about Claire's brilliant books (The Time Tub Travellers series) we had great fun reliving all things '90s! I hope you enjoy hanging out with us today. Please share this so others can enjoy it and make sure you subscribe/follow so you don't miss the next episode full of precious memories.

Author, activist, podcaster and consultant Dr Paul Taylor-Pitt takes us back to 1986 to his 13th birthday with his flashback track, Open Your Heart by Madonna...

Join me, Thomas Leeds, as we explore Paul's touching memories of growing up gay when being gay was not an option, of moving to London at 17 in the nineties, caring for young people with HIV in their final days, then building a career centred around helping people navigating change, to the moment he saw Madonna on his 50th birthday, before writing his brilliant book - Still Here, Still Queer, Now What?

It was a real privilege chatting with Paul and I hope you enjoy spending time with us. Please share this so others can enjoy it and make sure you subscribe/follow so you don't miss the next episode full of precious memories. Watch on YouTube or Spotify or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Bestselling, record-breaking author AF Steadman takes us back to 2008, the night before her GCSE results, with her flashback track Square One by Tom Petty...

Join me, Thomas Leeds, as we explore Annabel's memories of her extraordinary life from her childhood living with diabetes and constant money worries, losing her home as a child, then working hard to get herself into top schools... to the magical moment one night in her 20s, when one James Blunt song sparked the idea for a story about blood-thirsty unicorns that would change her life forever and become the publishing phenomenon that is the Skandar series, selling millions of copies around the world and launching the career of her dreams.

It was so great chatting with Annabel who is just a total legend on so many levels. I hope you enjoy time-travelling with us today. Please subscribe/follow and share this with anyone you think might enjoy it too.
