We Swim to the Shark - Georgie Codd

Samantha Harvey

Swimming while anxious, sleeping while depressed, the impact of staring at trees and Googling dead people - this is Georgie Codd and Samantha Harvey in conversation with podcaster Sarah Allely on 'Shapeless Fears'. This discussion was part of BookBound, a from-home literary festival that was held during the 2020 Covid-19 lockdown. BookBound partnered with Wasafiri Magazine to champion diverse authors, and raised money for the UK mental health charity Mind.
