Show Notes

Before founding Tortoise James Harding was head of BBC News. In this episode he’s joined by journalists Liz Moseley, Will Brown and Ceri Thomas, a former editor of Radio 4’s Today programme, to discuss the scandal surrounding a BBC presenter and what it means for the corporation. 


They also cover the US government’s decision to send cluster bombs to Ukraine, and the links between the NHS and big pharma.
