Emily Maitlis, formerly of Newsnight, gives her thoughts on her series about J Edgar Hoover, the man who became probably the most powerful non-elected official in the USA.
Why did Emily Maitlis, the former Newsnight presenter, want to make eight programmes about an American official who died 50 years ago?
Roger Bolton asks her about her Radio 4 series which recounted the career of J Edgar Hoover, the man who made presidents tremble and became probably the most powerful non-elected official in the USA. Was he the ‘deep state’ personified?
Also, Dr Michael Moseley of Radio 4’s Just One Thing answers a critic who says his advice to eat more oily fish could come at a high environmental price.
And in a similar vein, should we be concerned about the future of peat bogs?
