When Katie Glass, Feature Writer with the London Times, was born, her mother was 24, but her father was 62. When he was in his 80s, she was still in her teens. For many years, her reaction to this age gap was to keep quiet, an attitude she has since changed, particularly after her father’s death.

She has been writing about this, and joins Seán to discuss.
