About this episode

Our guest today is a hugely impressive woman who can turn her hand seamlessly to just about anything: it’s legendary broadcaster and journalist, Vanessa Feltz!


We spoke to Vanessa ahead of the release of her deeply personal autobiography - the book she swore she’d never write - about the ups and downs of an amazing professional and personal life. It’s an inspiring, occasionally heartbreaking lesson in resilience, persistence and insisting on having a bloody good time whenever possible!
