Episode Description
Simon McCoy is the man who made BBC News funny.
He is also an absolute news obsessive.
In this fascinating and entertaining interview, he tells us what it was like moving from the BBC to GB News, what frustrated him about covering the Brexit referendum, and the intervention that Huw Edwards made about Simon's afternoon slot on News 24.
Packed full of behind-the-scenes insight, this is an absolute cracker with one of our most gifted broadcasters.
