Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

Revenues are lower than expected, while Google parent company Alphabet beats forecasts. We hear what's behind the tech giants' latest earnings from our North America business correspondent Michelle Fleury in New York. Author Chinmay Tumbe, a historian from Gujarat in India, tells us why the country's 2011 census recorded 150,000 resident Ugandans - up from just 700 a decade earlier. And we speak to the journalists who revealed how tickets for Metallica concerts were being sold directly on secondary sites - meaning fans couldn't buy them at face value. Fergus Nicoll is joined throughout the programme by Jyoti Malhotra, National & Strategic Affairs Editor at The Print, in Delhi, and Paddy Hirsch, contributing editor at National Public Radio, from Los Angeles.
