About this episode

Take a stroll with Emily, Raymond and the fabulous Cathy Newman in South London’s Brockwell Park. Cathy is a journalist, writer and one of the presenters of Channel 4 News - and she is also an absolute delight!

Cathy also chats all about her brilliant new book The Ladder - a book of life lessons from women who have scaled the heights of their respective fields, which features conversations with women such as Clare Balding, Joan Bakewell and Tanni Grey-Thompson. 


The Ladder is available now! You can get your copy here.
