Adrian Mole author Sue Townsend has an impressively long list of disabilities and medical conditions. She joins Liz Carr and Rob Crossan in the studio to discuss why she wanted Moley to face death through serious illness in her latest book, his friend Nigel's blindness and her love of the Jeremy Kyle show amongst other things. Simon Minty gives his take on this month's news. Music is from The Fuzzbomb Band, a Brighton based group with learning difficulties and raw punk talent!
