This week on Walking The Dog, the brilliant journalist and author Jon Ronson joins Emily and Raymond from New York City! 
Jon has an adorable - albeit sometimes needy - elderly Spaniel Poodle cross called Josie who emigrated to the US with Jon and his family, alongside their other dog Floppy, a Tibetan Terrier, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago.
Jon tells us about an infamous portrait that hung in the bar of the hotel run by his family in Wales, why being an outsider makes a good journalist, and what happened when he emailed his teenage bullies to tell them that he was a bestselling author. 
Part Two of this chat will be available on Thursday!

Jon Ronson (Part One)

We’re back in Brockwell Park with Cathy Newman! Cathy’s got a cat - a Russian Blue called Cher who didn't join us on the walk, however we think Raymond reawakened her inner dog-lover. Is it time to get a whippet?!
Cathy tells us all about how she worked her way up through journalism to become the presenter of Channel 4 News. She talks about her famous interview with Jordan Peterson, and how she dealt with the abuse she received afterwards.
