About this episode
This is an exclusive, and more or less uncensored, interview with the journalist and media powerhouse Piers Morgan, who Gyles spoke to live at the Bridlington Business Day this year. Piers talks to Gyles about his childhood, growing up above a country pub in Sussex, about his schooldays being a "buffoon", and about how peach brandy helped to secure him a job editing the News of the World. PIers talks about Meghan Markle, his thoughts on "woke", and his chequered relationship with Donald Trump. He talks, briefly, about phone hacking and the importance of safeguarding free speech.
This is a frank and sometimes provocative conversation with someone who has been at the centre of the media landscape since the 1990s.
This interview was recorded at Bridlington Spa and was a keynote speech at the Bridlington Business Day.
