Rare Earth @BBCRadio4 about fashion and clothing - and I don't often say this but making this programme has changed my life. Plus you'll find out exactly what Patrick Grant does backstage on The Great British Sewing Bee... Give it a listen now: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002mc4…

Turn into @BBCRadio4 at 16.30 to hear me talking about all time hero Diana Barnato Walker - superb aviator with a terrible taste in men. If only she had gone for accountants. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001t9l…

A real legend in Westminster - I’ll miss hearing you!
Recording my final edition of the Friday Today in Parliament - after 20 years. I’m still reporting for another week, but then it’s goodbye to the fantastic TiP team.

What an honour to get a recommendation like this! Thank you.
Very much enjoying hearing this now while on announcing duty this evening. A recommendation from me, in case it helps anyone who’s struggling with Ulysses… 👉🏻

One of my favourite episodes from HOAX, I only wish we'd had an hour to tell you all the very strange and interesting things about this man and what he did.
🚨Episode 3 of HOAX is on @BBCRadio4 TODAY at 13:45! E3: 🐸 The Toad Kisser Meet Paul Kammerer, kisser of toads, eater of worms, and the Viennese scientist that every 1920s Darwinist loved to hate. Craven hoaxer? Or tragic hero…? 🎧 bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001p…

Really enjoyed this programme. If i wrote historical fiction based in Hastings, I'd be so tempted to use this as the inspiration for a novel @LadyDolby bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001pt…

Listen to episode 2 of our new series - honestly, it's fun (apart from the racists)
🚨 Episode 2 of BBC Radio 4 series HOAX is on TODAY at 13:45! E2: 💀 The Wizard of Sussex Skulduggery! Or, a cautionary tale of what happens when scientists(/racists) want to believe... bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ptb…
