Episode Description

As an anchor, being catapulted into live breaking news is not for the faint hearted. All the plans and rundowns go out the window and it’s down to guts, grit and your smarts to survive. But that’s also the fun of it. And this week’s guest is the best in the business.
Martine Dennis is a senior international news anchor, journalist, moderator and supreme legend of global broadcasting.At only 24 she was a BBC correspondent at the United Nations in New York.
It was a role that granted Martine a crash course in every conflict in the world. But it also gave her an early insight into how to navigate her way around sources and avoid advances from men in power - in an era well before the MeToo movement.
In our chat - which is actually more like a masterclass - I confess that I was both intimidated and in awe of Martine when I first worked with her in the BBC World News London newsroom.
We talk about being underestimated, not always fitting in, the pressures women face - from a very early age - and her step-by-step guide to being your best on camera.

Inspiration fuels the creative process, and there is little that excites me more than interesting people who teach me something new (which is pretty much anyone I run into these days). Join me for this People-Inspired Podcast where I get to talk to inspiring people about what and who inspired them. We will fill the tank and crank that flywheel, proving that one person's story is often all you need to get things rolling. People ask about what sparked my debut novel, Back to Blue Holly, and the answer is easy. The book is place and PEOPLE-inspired.
