Today on Katie & Lucy’s Book Club we’re celebrating one of our own – Scunthorpe-based indie author Rox Blackburn.

Rox has already published two novels and a short story, with her next book out this May, and she’s also part of a brilliant local indie author collective that brings together poets, novelists, children’s writers and artists from across our region.

Today’s guest on Katie and Lucy's Book Club has been behind some of the most jaw-dropping moments in modern media.

Sam McAlister is the former BBC Newsnight producer who helped land interviews that stopped the nation - including the infamous Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor sit-down that made headlines around the world.

In her bestselling book Scoops, Sam takes us inside the ruthless, high-pressure world of political journalism, where truth, power and reputation collide behind closed doors. It’s a story so compelling it’s now been turned into a Netflix drama.

We’re thrilled to welcome the woman who knows exactly how the biggest stories get made, Sam McAlister to Katie and Lucy’s Book Club.

Katie & Lucy's Book Club Show on the 19th October was a "Gavin & Stacey" special as they reviewed Ruth Jones & James Corden's new book "When Gavin and Stacey and Everything Inbetween". As part of the show they caught up with Kaz Barratt... AKA Knock Off Nessa. We loved chatting to her so much, we thought we'd bring you the whole interview unedited.
