This episode is a treat. Comedian and actor Thanyia Moore tells me about her journey towards a better work/life balance and making better decisions for herself, every day. She proper shamed my morning routine too (which basically involves coffee and shouting at Radio 4). It's not good enough and I will fix up!

Today I am PROcrastinating with Nels Abbey. He's a writer and commentator. Buy his books THE HIP HOP MBA and THINK LIKE A WHITE MAN - both out now!  What a great chat, we confirm once and for all that creativity grows from procrastination, Lagos Airport IS the motherland and all writer retreats should be in strip clubs.

Musician, broadcaster and activist Linton Stephens talks to Athena Kugblenu about being a master procrastinator AND elite musician at the same time. After listening to this, you will be reassured that procrastination is a form of active resistance against the oppressive status quo. This is exactly the kind of endorsement we all need.
