About this episode
We are in Regent’s Park in London this week for a walk with legendary broadcaster and journalist Robert Peston and his dog Merlin, an adorable bedlington-whippet cross!
On a gorgeous spring day, Robert tells us about his fascinating childhood, the experience of becoming a household name during the financial crash, and the way people have reacted to his distinctive voice through the years.
You can listen to part two of our walk with Robert here!
