In a press release BBC Studios say of the pod:” Up, Charlotte and her friends discuss the life classes they’ve learned, as well as the times they are also trying to process”.
” Issues span from the techniques to sustaining a long, loving union, to how to repair yourself in the face of adversity. Thus expect mindful moments, laugh, and a few stories of teens sneaking into leagues, as Church captures the root and branch tales of her family and her chosen home”.
” Their honest, and frequently moving tales paint a vivid picture of Cardiff, the area where Charlotte has spent her entire life,” they say.
The external tones of the show’s original song, composed by Charlotte and her song, singer and producer husband, Jonathan Powell, generate the podcast’s “temporal setting of Cardiff”.

A truly private initiative for Charlotte, she says of the audio:” I grew up in a working-class home in Cardiff, and I feel lucky to experience grounded in this city. There’s so much knowledge and elegance in my mother’s stories, and I actually wanted to explore where we feel like we most belong. I’m excited to start documenting the lives of my favorite people, and I’m eager to share the parts that are appropriate for spread.
