An institution with hard-hitting interviews
In a special edition, we hear listeners’ views on Hard Talk and meet its regular host Stephen Sackur and ask if its approach always lives up to the show’s combative title?
It’s become an institution on the BBC World Service with in-depth, hard-hitting interviews with people in the news.
In a special edition, we hear listeners’ views on Hard Talk and meet its regular host Stephen Sackur and ask if its approach always lives up to the show’s combative title?
Listeners say they want to know why there are not more women guests and how Stephen knows when to stop pushing if an interviewee does not want to answer.
Presenter Rajan Datar
Producer Howard Shannon.
