Absolutely delighted with these nominations. Great to work with @CatrionaStewart & Rachel Coburn on these, and a host of incredible women. Listening back now, it's quite an angry podcast - maybe feisty a better word. And funny, at points.
Listen here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m002l…
Our BBC Disclosure documentary and BBC Sounds podcast Matched With A Predator about the rapist Christopher Harkins have both been shortlisted in the True Crime UK Awards.
It’s obviously all down to the extraordinary @catmacphee but I’m tickled pink too

Funniest thing I've seen all week. Gotta love @CatrionaStewart 🤣❤️
Those of us who do not speak the language of football 😬 and have found the past week slightly baffling have a new hero.

Producer Caitlin Smith and I have teamed up to make another BBC Radio 4 documentary. If At First You Don't Secede asks if there is any way through the current impasse on independence. It's on this Sunday (November 23) at 1.30pm if you fancy a listen. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002l22…

This was a particularly heart-breaking interview. Another vulnerable woman, this time with young children to feed, left penniless by Glasgow Tinder fraudster Christopher Harkins - or Telfer, as he told his English victims.
