When the poet Benjamin Zephaniah arrived at our studios 22 years ago for a live interview I really did not know much about him. During that conversation I learned a lot and was quite impressed by this amazing man.
Benjamin Zephaniah died in December. When I saw his obituary in the New York Times I finally became aware that he had been a phenomenal talent, that his activism had been tremendous, and that he was actually quite famous.
This was an incredible interview.
