Summary
Sam McAllister spent years working behind the scenes as one of the BBC's most tenacious and determined producers — pitching, pushing and refusing to give up until she got the story. And it was that relentless determination that led to her securing one of the most explosive television interviews in recent memory — Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview that shocked the world. In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down with Sam to talk about the ambition and resilience it takes to succeed in a male dominated industry, what really goes on behind the camera in journalism, and the moment her own story broke. Sam talks about the things she's achieved and how she got there - even when things werent straightforward. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
