📻 There are so many great moments in this episode with @bbcnickrobinson. It’s a masterclass in broadcast journalism in every regard - the principles that underpin it, Nick’s personal approach and some brilliant stories about handling big moments. Enjoy!
Also... I had a nightmare and forgot to record the majority of the interview. @bbcnickrobinson was ludicrously gracious and we went again and recorded a whole new one in full. So, if it sounds like we’re old pals, it’s because we spent a lot of time together that day!

Here's a happy story to end the week. For years @RonJichardson and I had fantasised about going to New York. For almost as long as we'd known each other we'd dreamt of going and having a holiday there. In 2011 we sorted it and set off on our adventure.
We went for 10 nights which is a long time in New York. It was emotional. For both of us NY was the land of dreams. Seeing the Ghostbusters Fire Station is still one of the highlights of my life. My main memory is of the bars. I think we went to every bar in New York.
The best thing about going for 10 nights is you can do the tourist stuff pretty quick and then you're just mooching about as if you live there for a week. The days are long, especially when you're doing a pub crawl every day.
