Mariella Frostrup is a renowned journalist and a voice familiar to Times Radio listeners. Today, the tables are turned. Mariella is on the other side of the mic, answering the questions rather than asking them.

She talks candidly to Rachel Sylvester and Alice Thomson about her chaotic childhood, constantly being moved from house to house, from country to country as her parents divorced. She talks about the devastating impact of her dad’s early death and her stepfather’s violence and links to the IRA.   Mariella also shares warm memories of her youth in the music industry, living in London’s Kings Road at the height of its punk glamour, jokes with Bono and dates with Iggy Pop.

Warning: Contains discussions of sensitive subjects including: alcoholism, bullying, death, drug use, domestic violence and coercive control, death.
