John Humphrys on A Day Like Today in conversation with Rosie Boycott

John Humphrys was the voice of Radio 4’s Today programme for over three decades. Written to coincide with his retirement from the BBC, his memoir, A Day Like Today, brings all of Humphrys’ formidable intellect and insight to bear on the state of politics and current affairs in the United Kingdom. Charting John's life from his Cardiff childhood, through to the ups and downs of his life as a journalist covering Watergate and apartheid South Africa, his time presenting the BBC Nine O'Clock News, and his 33 years holding politicians to account on Radio 4's Today, it is a riveting insight into his famously tough interviewing style, his deep suspicion of authority in all its forms, his passionate commitment to various causes, and his ferocious intellect. Humphrys was recently a guest presenter on Classic FM’s More Music Breakfast show.
