Dr. Kate Fox – Uncontrollable or Revolutionary?

Listen on: Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Soundcloud

Dr Kate Fox takes us on an entertaining and eye-opening journey through the lives of extraordinary northern women, from rebels to writers to astronauts, whose lives and achievements have too long been hidden.

Working mainly as a stand-up poet and as a broadcaster and speaker, Kate Fox is a familiar radio voice, having presented Pick of the Week on Radio 4 and been a regular contributor to Radio 3’s The Verb, among many other broadcasts. She has been Poet in Residence for the Great North Run, Glastonbury Festival and Radio 4’s Saturday Live. She’s also a gentle activist and campaigner for the voices of Northerners, the working class, women and the neurodiverse to be heard; mainly by teaching and running workshops in schools and community groups – and by speaking, writing, raising awareness and tutting at injustice and inequality.
