Episode three: Clare Balding

Author and broadcaster Clare Balding is best known for her sports commentary on the BBC across eight Olympic Games, and most famously for the celebrated 2012 London Olympics. A lifelong passion for sport led to her success at BBC Sport, before she moved to BBC Radio 4, where she became known for the much-loved walking and talking series Ramblings. Along the way, she's written several books, a highly acclaimed autobiography My Animals and Other Family, plus several children's books.

Together with our host (BAFTA-nominated comedian, actor, author Rachel Parris), Clare reveals (at least) three children's books that have helped make her who she is today. Delivering not quite the soundtrack of her life, but the literary yarns that knit it together.
