Emma Barnett Instagram – Cheeky preview of my first proper meeting with my new editor for one special @bbctodayprogramme only… it’s only Dame @laurakenny31 isn’t it?!
The woman to have cycled her way into our hearts and to more gold medals than any other Team GB female athlete. Not that she’s competitive or anything 😜
She is one of our special Christmas guest editors, masterfully overseen by our queen; queen of the airwaves and the producer with all the ❤️ @lallsville – (who has also helped make my first 6 months in the hot seat at the Today programme.)
Our special programme edited by Laura goes out next Tuesday – New Year’s Eve. I particularly loved interviewing the Dame for a special concluding part of the programme (which we’ve got in the can already because, you know, Xmas) because of her honesty about retiring, family, baby loss, fertility, motherhood and female leadership. She also shares what she’s like watching her son compete at sport. With two Olympian parents on the sidelines…. @jasonkenny107 here’s looking at you too 👀 😝
It’s a #newyearseve corker. And will be a great final #r4today programme of the year. @bbcradio4 @bbcsounds
