Everyone needs a bank of inspiration. Everyone has loves and passions, across different aspects of life and culture. These are the things that enrich and sustain our lives. During this current climate we have increasingly realised what we treasure most – and much of it is related to art, film, music, stories, culture, sport, play, food, drink, and our most precious memories.
In this podcast, Alan Davies talk to mavericks and visionaries, storytellers and comedians, entrepreneurs and artists from around the world and asks them: What do you value most? What influences you? What inspires you? Who shaped you as a person? What are your seven pillars of wisdom?

Jo Brand. Still a Bother
Well, here I am quite a while after having listened to the Jo Brand episode that I caught on June 22 and with another comment. I am still annoyed at Jo Brand for her childish goings on with regard to how everything American is awful. I hope that I get over it but to listen to her childish comments really soured her wit, insight and generous self-deprecating humor that I have always enjoyed and admired her for. I am having difficulty feeling and thinking of her in the same way that I always have.
I guess if she fessed up to what brought all of the very generalized anti-American comments on it would be easier for me to understand. Knowing who or what brought about her anger might help me understand it all a bit better. The thought that anyone could do anything to her to create this, basically, whiny tirade against America and Americans is difficult to imagine. I just don't see Ms. Brand lashing out at an entire society. I am disappointed that someone could get under her wonderfully insightful and sharp intellect to cause this presentation.
It has exposed a weakness in Jo Brand that I never expected to encounter. Its personal and irresponsible on her part.
