The Salt Path is a best-selling book, and now film of the same name, that tells the story of a couple who find their lives in ruin and decide to walk Britain's one thousand kilometre South West Coast Path. There has been almost universal praise for the story until now. An investigation by The Observer says much of the story is not true, but does it matter?

Here's the first topic from today's Talk Media Episode. To hear the full hour long podcast, go to www.patreon.com/talkmedia

When does creative nonfiction cross the line into fabrication, and does it matter? That's the question being asked by many after serious concerns were raised about the bestselling memoir The Salt Path. The 2018 book, which has sold nearly two million copies worldwide and been adapted into a feature film, tells the story of a couple, Raynor Winn and her husband Moth, who walked Britain's 1,000km South West Coast Path after their home was repossessed. But an investigation by the Observer newspaper has cast doubt over key parts of the memoir, including how the couple lost their home, the fact that they owned land in France and questions around Moth's terminal diagnosis of a rare disease. So, what should we expect from a memoir? Should we take everything written as the truth and nothing but the truth? Or is there room for creative embellishment? To explore the issue, Emile speaks to writer, editor and lecturer at the University of Melbourne, Nicola Redhouse.

Katie Razzall and Ros Atkins discuss some of the main media stories in the news this week including the latest allegations about TV presenter Gregg Wallace with Max Goldbart, International TV Editor at Deadline. French police have been filmed getting tough with migrants getting into dinghies to cross the Channel this week, but was it just for the cameras as some claim? Andrew Harding BBC Paris Correspondent talks about his report which made headlines this week and Catherine Norris Trent, senior correspondent at France 24 reflects on how the French media cover the issue. Heloise Wood, Deputy News Editor, at Bookseller talks about fact checking in the publishing industry after claims the hit book The Salt Path which was made into a film isn't really a truthful biography and as Oasis performs live for the first time since 2009, we consider who owns the iconic images of their reunion concert? Andrew Moger, Chief Executive of the News Media Coalition and Danni Scott, Music and entertainment reporter at the Metro discuss. Producer: Lisa Jenkinson Assistant Producer: Lucy Wai

There is no off switch when it comes to bullying and abuse nowadays as our kids, though not in school during the break, are still out for camps and are almost always online. So what can we as adults do to protect them with the best way we can? Safeguarding expert Priya Mitchell tells us what we need to keep in mind. We are also joined by a survivor of bullying— but instead of being silenced, she’s become a voice for millions of children. Seher Pahade is the Lead Child Warrior at CACTUS Foundation, she doesn’t just speak to other kids, she’s training the adults: educators, parents, and school leaders on how to create safe, responsive environments for children. We're also looking at the social cost of divorce — how stigma, isolation, and shifting identities can leave lasting marks on those going through it, with Licensed psychologist Dr. Sarah Rasmi from Thrive Wellbeing Centre. A growing scandal around The Salt Path memoir has rocked the publishing world, raising questions about truth in storytelling. Plus, we’re asking: what makes a great summer read, and how do you go from idea to published book? Best-selling author, journalist, and book lover, Annabel Kantaria gives her take on the subject And with Dubai’s dry climate, air conditioning, and long screen hours, studies show approximately 62.6% of residents in the emirate report symptoms of dry eye disease, and nearly 42% of those cases are classified as severe. Dr Marta Calatayud, Ophthalmologist at Barraquer UAE, is here to help.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We tend to like leaders to appear calm and in control. But we also want them to be human. The problem is, when they show genuine emotion, they often get slated for it - branded as 'weak' or an 'embarrassment'.This week, David Yelland and Simon Lewis look at how people in public life are judged for letting the mask slip - and reveal how much effort goes in to preparing people to show more or less emotion. They'll also examine whether suppressing emotion is the only way to get to the top in business.Also, on the extended edition on BBC Sounds, David and Simon look at a huge fan hitter in the business world that you may not even have heard of - but one that goes to the very heart of reputational risk.And never let the truth get in the way of a good story. It appears the much-loved book and now film, The Salt Path may not be quite what it seems. Does it matter? And if so, who is this a crisis for?

Are the couple behind the phenomenally successful 'The Salt Path' lying in their incredible memoir? How has an AI band duped music fans around the world? What is the secret sauce to the Youtube sensation Hot Ones? The Salt Path rocked the world in 2018 when couple Raynor and Moth Winn told their real-life tale overcoming terminal illness and homelessness by taking a 630 mile walk around the UK. Now an incredible article in the Observer claims that the main elements of Raynor and Moth Winn's story, including their names, are fabrications. What is the truth and what do publishers or film studios do in cases like this? The Velvet Sundown are racking up millions of listeners on Spotify, despite having never existed.

Esta semana traemos un menú de lo más variopinto, que tiene como aperitivo el live action de una de las sagas más exitosas de Dreamworks: ‘Cómo entrenar a tu dragón', que nos llega 15 años después a las salas en carne y hueso, pero con dragones CGI, por supuesto. De entrante tenemos un plato llegado desde Rumanía a manos del chef Emanuel Parvú, uno de los directores de la nueva ola del cine rumano, que nos habla de homofobia y corrupción en ‘Tres kilómetros al fin del mundo', en cines. El segundo entrante, también en cines, nos lo sirve Josh Hartnett en ‘Fight or flight', donde interpreta a un mercenario retirado con la misión de atrapar a un asesino a bordo de un vuelo. El primero lo vamos a tomar en casa, en Movistar+, concretamente, donde Saoirse Ronan nos presenta un plato con mucho alcohol, y no del todo bien evaporado, en ‘En islas extremas', donde da vida a una chica cuyos traumas le hacen abrazar la bebida para intentar ser feliz. De segundo volvemos al cine, porque allí está ‘La receta perfecta'. Una combinación de ingredientes donde el principal es el queso Comté, que nuestro protagonista intentará por todos los medios fabricar para poder salir de la miseria que invade su vida. Y de nuevo en casa para el postre, Amazon Prime nos trae un plato ligero pero algo improvisado con ‘Deep Cover: Actores encubiertos', una comedia donde Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom y Nick Mohammed son unos actores de improvisación que se verán envueltos en el mundo criminal fingiendo ser unos despiadados delincuentes. Pero por si te quedas con hambre, que sepas que en la nevera te dejamos unos tuppers con las reseñas anticipadas de Tornado, Lollipop y The Salt Path, tres títulos británicos que llegarán próximamente a nuestro país. Y todo ello, como siempre, sin spoilers.

Imagine standing at the threshold of your home, bailiffs hammering at the door, knowing that once you step outside you'll be homeless. On top of that, your husband has just been diagnosed with an incurable neurodegenerative disease. In one single moment, you're forced to wave goodbye to a life you spent 20 years building while also losing hope for everything that might have come next. For Raynor Winn, it was in this moment of complete despair and panic, that an idea formed after she glanced down and saw a book among the packing boxes. It was about a man who had walked the South West Coast Path with his dog: "We could just fill a rucksack, follow a line on a map and just walk," Raynor thought.So, with nothing but two rucksacks on their back, a tent, and the South West Coast Path as their compass, Raynor and her husband Moth began walking.630 miles…Navigating a path with an ascent equivalent to climbing Everest nearly four times.It's a story so extraordinary, Penguin snapped it up. And it's since become a best-selling book and, more recently, a feature film starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. Why you should tune inWe all have moments when life derails our plans, when everything feels broken and our dreams seem lost to time and circumstance. But as Raynor's story shows us, sometimes, rock bottom isn't the end. And a long-held dream can become a reality in the most unexpected of ways. Here's what to listen out for:[00:58] The childhood dream.[05:07] When life becomes impossible to juggle.[08:06] Building life on your own terms.[10:21] "This is as bad as life can get."[16:04] The moment everything changed: "We could just walk".[19:58] From self-doubt to bestselling author.[23:48] How material possessions can trap us.Press play now! 

'White Lotus' star Jason Isaacs joins the show. Over some sexy mushrooms, Jason tells me about the film he thought would ruin his career, improvising in ‘Harry Potter' and we get into his new film ‘The Salt Path,' which co-stars Gillian Anderson.

The Names by Florence Knapp. Cora is married to Gordon, a highly respected doctor, but what goes on in their own home is something entirely different. When she has a baby son she heads off to register his birth, with instructions from Gordon that she's to name the baby after him - but her nine year old daughter has another idea, and Cora has her own preference. The story then splits into three different lines, in each of which the baby boy is given one of these three names and we follow his life until he's 35 years old - and each of the named scenarios shows the impact of a name on a person's life. It's very cleverly done and there's been a lot of international buzz about it. The Salt Path by Raynor Winn. This is currently screening at cinemas - the film is based on this book which was originally published in 2018 and has been reissued. It's the true story of Raynor and her husband known as Moth, who in their 50's lose absolutely everything and find themselves homeless and destitute - with Moth also suffering a debilitating illness. In the absence of any other options they decide to walk - more than 600 miles on the UK's South West Coast Path, from Sommerset to Dorset via Devon and Cornwall. It's an extraordinary story of real courage and endurance, and finding themselves in the process. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been reported that 1.5 million people are taking GLP1 weight-loss jabs and a huge majority are buying online without a face-to-face appointment with a doctor.   Yesterday, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) warned that women using weight-loss jabs must use effective contraception - and it is not known whether taking the medicines could harm an unborn baby. To discuss whether people using the jabs are aware of these issues and getting the right advice, Anita Rani is joined by GP Dr Sarah Jarvis and BBC Health Reporter Philippa Roxby.The Salt Path is a new film based on Raynor Winn's international bestselling memoir, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. Just days after Raynor learns that Moth, her husband of 32 years has a rare neurodegenerative condition, their home is taken away and they lose their livelihood. With nothing left to lose, they walk the 630-mile South West Coast Path. It's the first film directed by the acclaimed and award-winning theatre director Marianne Elliott, whose celebrated productions include War Horse and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. She joins Anita in the studio. For the first time since 1973 women will walk out to compete at Queen's Club as the Queen's Tennis tournament gets underway.

Gillian Anderson's breakthrough television role in the sci-fi series The X Files made her a global star in 1993, and she played cool-headed Agent Dana Scully for nearly a decade. She also starred in period dramas, including an acclaimed film adaptation of Edith Wharton's novel The House Of Mirth and, on television, in Bleak House, Great Expectations and War and Peace. Her theatre credits include A Doll's House, A Streetcar Named Desire and All About Eve, all of which saw her nominated for Olivier Awards. Gillian Anderson has won Golden Globe and Emmy Awards for the X Files, and also for The Crown in which she played Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. More recently, she found a new generation of fans for role as a sex therapist in the series Sex Education. Her latest film is The Salt Path, adapted from the bestselling memoir by Raynor Wynn.Gillian Anderson tells John Wilson how, after being born in Chicago, she moved with her parents to Crouch End, London, when she was five, and then to Michigan at the age of 11. After what she describes as ‘rebellious' teenage years, she studied at Chicago's DePaul University with drama teacher Ric Murphy, whom she cites as a major influence on her early acting ambitions. After a series of minor stage roles in New York, she auditioned for The X Files and the role of Agent Scully changed her life. She also chooses the actor Meryl Streep as a major inspiration after seeing her with Robert Redford in the 1985 romantic drama film Out Of Africa. Gillian also reveals how the work of the Serbian-born conceptual performance artist Marina Abramović has also been an influential cultural figure for her.Producer: Edwina Pitman

James Cameron-Wilson is impressed that the box office has fallen only 20% with Lilo & Stitch and Mission Impossible #1 & #2. #3 is Karate Kid: Legends with Jackie Chan (the sixth in the series). It is formulaic but moves at a good clip. Independent film The Salt Path is #4, packing out screens where it is showing. It's an unbelieveable but true story with Jason Isaacs & Gillian Anderson and is worthy but lacking cinematic oomph. On Netflix James caught the Spanish crime drama A Widow's Game, which can be seen subtitled or dubbed. Sadly, it is all too obvious who the guilty party is. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dendrochronology is a niche field of study, used to work out the age of trees, forests and wooden objects. However, it is not only useful for looking at the past, but also for considering how to manage wooded areas in the future. Mark met with expert dendrochronologist Dr Coralie Mills, and Borders Forest Trust Project Officer, Catriona Patience, to find out more about more about these scientific methods, and how they have informed forest management.Drones can have a lot of potential for wildlife researchers, and one person who has found them incredibly useful is Claire Stainfield, a PhD student at Scotland's Rural College.
