The legendary household name, John Simpson CBE, makes an exclusive appearance with us to share reflections on his illustrious career as the BBC’s World Affairs Editor.

Widely regarded as one of the most distinguished foreign correspondents of our time, Simpson is often described as the “David Attenborough” of news. For more than six decades, he has reported on almost every major turning point in modern history, from the Iranian Revolution and the fall of the Berlin Wall to the Gulf Wars, the end of Apartheid, the genocide in Rwanda and the collapse of the Soviet Union.
