Amidst all the political drama, you might’ve missed this. Anne’s account of her stalking ordeal is searingly honest and brave. My thanks to her for talking to me. It’s worth a a listen.

Pleasure to have you for your debut on Scotcast!
Major US tech firms have pledged tens of billions of pounds worth of investment, with Nvidia's Jensen Huang predicting the UK will become an "AI superpower". I appeared on last night's Scotcast to chat with @BBCLauraMiller about it 📺bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

This truly is the end of an era. Sally has paved the way for all who’ve followed with poise, wisdom and warmth. It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to share the chair with her these past few years. bbc.com/news/articles/ce85g8…

I spoke to Janey back in 2022 after she discovered her cancer had returned. She was honest, gusty and bloody hilarious. Truly one of a kind. My thoughts are with her family and friends.
