28 分钟Hello and welcome to Meet the Writers.
I'm Georgina Godwin.
The longest relationships in our lives are often the ones we take most for granted.
Before friendships, before partners, before we 've worked out who we are,
there are the people we 've grown up alongside, the ones who remember us before we remember ourselves.
My guest today has spent years listening to those relationships and what they reveal.
She 's an award-winning documentary maker,
presenter and podcast producer whose work for the BBC has taken her all over the world.
Her podcast, Relatively, explores the complicated, often funny, sometimes painful bonds between siblings.
Now she's turned that lens into a book.
Who's the favourite?
The loving, messy realities of sibling relationships.
A warm, perceptive and often very funny exploration of how brothers and sisters shape who we become.
Because siblings don't just share a childhood, they each live their own version of it.
Catherine Carr, welcome to Meet the Writers.
Thank you so much for having me.
What a nice introduction.
You begin with the idea that siblings may be the longest relationships of our lives.
When did that suddenly become clear to you?
Someone told me it was that basic.
