The House I Grew Up In

The House I Grew Up In is a BBC Radio series. The first episode of the first series was broadcast on 6 August 2007 on BBC Radio 4. With the presenter Wendy Robbins, each week an influential Briton explains some of their thoughts and memories as he or she goes back to the locality and the house (or houses) in which he or she was brought up. In July 2011, BBC Radio 4 began publishing a podcast featuring highlights of previous programmes, as well as the 2011 series.
