This podcast is about exploring the concept of "home". Called "Wherever I lay my hat"- I want to unlock the stories we all carry, about how we have found (or are still trying to find) our place in the world.
I think about my journey (how I normally hate that word!), from a young lad living in London, moving across the world at the age of 22, sight unseen and ending up in Alabama, with a young family in my mid-40s.
