Show 343. Nathaniel Dye
Nathaniel was propelled to the national media just over a week ago when he was Keir Starmer's warm-up act at the launch of his '6 steps'.
His speech was all the more powerful because he's dying of bowel cancer.
In this powerful interview Nathaniel tells the story of the delays to his treatment, his approach to life since his diagnosis and how he ended up warming up for Keir Starmer.
He might be sick of being called it, but he is an inspiration.
