A masterclass in the art of making the news from one of the world’s most formidable broadcasters.
For the last three decades, John Humphrys has held politicians to account as the host of our most popular news programme – Radio 4’s Today. In his 50 years at the BBC he was also their youngest television foreign correspondent and served in Washington during the Watergate years and southern Africa during apartheid and the Rhodesian war. In this week’s How To Academy Podcast, Matthew Stadlen – a man who is himself no stranger to asking tough questions of those in power – sat down with him to explore what John has learned from a lifetime at the forefront of current affairs in the UK.
