Feel the fear (and do the gig anyway)
Zeynep is scared of heights. Sam is scared of falling. So whose brilliant idea was it to record this episode on the London Eye? The amazing composer Anna Meredith is our guest for this special edition on FEAR. Also featured: Jess and Zeynep playing the podcast theme tune on a TEENY TINY PIANO
