One Of The Family | A Nicky Campbell Podcast

2 remarkable people who have dedicated their lives to saving lives. ‘The Super Vet’ Noel Fitzpatrick in his most intense and revealing interview yet and then, the extraordinary story of Georgiana Neagu, a Romanian animal lover who has single-handedly rescued hundreds of street dogs. “Animals mean love for me”.

National treasure Chris Packham on his love for dogs; how they’ve enriched his life and broken his heart. His autism, his environmentalism and his indestructible mission to end barbarity and cruelty. He’s a force of nature; a force for nature. And where would we be without dogs?

Two great journalists with headline stories. Kay Burley on a tail of skulduggery - a canine kidnap and a ransom paid. Also, Iain Dale prises the truth from politicians but prizes his dogs more than anything. And a lead story- the nosehounds - the miracle of medical detection dogs. Sniffing disease and saving lives.

A man who has been at the heart of political power in the UK - Alastair Campbell, with a shocking revelation about Blair and Brown, dogs in the Whitehouse, bagpipe loving seals, how politicians can save the planet and he learns about the real Carrie Symonds. He and Nicky also discuss how their dogs have helped them both through depression. Plus - Matthew Robinson from ‘Pets as Therapy’ on the magic he’s seen in care homes, hospices and children’s hospitals. Amazing dogs. Wonderful therapy. Pure magic.

One of the Family celebrates Guide Dogs 90th anniversary, featuring Susie Dent, Terry Quinn, Dr Helen Whiteside, Tim Stafford, Mark Moraghan, Spencer, Flash, Folly, Meta and Judy.

The history, the training, the puppies [OMG], the love, the bonds, the miracles and the magic. It’s beyond words although Susie has a cracker. It’s a beautiful thing - as is the specially written music ‘You changed everything’.

That’s what they do. That IS exactly what they do.
