  • The Royals with Rhiannon Mills
    Dec 21 2018
    The Royal family divides opinion. To some they are an integral part of our national fabric, a global institution, and a huge tourist draw bringing in much needed revenue. To others they are an unworthy privileged elite who should not be supported by taxes in a 21st century democracy.

    What cannot be doubted is the fact the Royal family regularly makes news. Covering the births, weddings, deaths, travel and personal lives throws up unique challenges for Sky News Royal correspondent Rhiannon Mills.

    In this Behind the Headline podcast, Sky News presenter Tom Macleod talks to Rhiannon about what the members of the Royal Family are like, how she approaches reporting on them, her thoughts on republicanism and whether the Royals are here to stay.

  • China And North Korea with Katie Stallard-Blanchette
    Jun 4 2018
    It's the second largest economy in the world and a major political power but living and working in China as a foreign reporter presents its challenges.

    Katie Stallard-Blanchette did just that as Sky News' Asia correspondent for three years. She faced major obstacles in trying to report in the real China. Challenging authority, questioning its oppressive approach to human rights and navigating through China's role on the world stage.

    During her time in Beijing, Katie also travelled to North Korea and ended her stint in the region just as the secretive state begins to engage with the rest of the world.

    In this Behind The Headline podcast, Sky News presenter Tom Macleod talks to Katie about her experiences covering two heavily censored nations.

  • The NHS with Paul Kelso
    Apr 13 2018
    For 70 years, the National Health Service has been at the heart of British society. Comprehensive, universal and free at the point of use, the NHS is a source of national pride.

    Its importance and significance can never be questioned, but its complexities are regularly at the centre of social and political debate. Sky's former health correspondent Paul Kelso spent his working life in hospitals, GPs' surgeries and care homes speaking to doctors, nurses, patients and politicians to try to make sense of it all. In this podcast, Paul shares his thoughts and experiences with Sky News presenter Tom Macleod.
