We're joined by another of Andrew and Phil's journalistic hero's - Richard Norton Taylor. Richard has uncovered dozens of scandals in his time working for London newspapers, and turned several of them into successful plays. Here he speaks about his work on a range of stories and decades battling Britain's 'secret state'. He also comments on the case of Julian Assange, currently facing extradition to the USA from Britain in a case that many believe threatens the rights of investigative journalists. 

You can buy books from the authors we feature - including Richard's recent play about the Grenfell Tower disaster - in our own bookshop. All profit are shared between podcasters and independent booksellers.
