My books apply documentary techniques learned making these programmes...

I've worked for 30 years in the media in TV, radio and online on location in the USA, Africa, Scandinavia, Germany, the UK and Ireland, mostly for the BBC. Some of the programmes I've made are listed below.

In one international collaboration I hosted a 40-episode podcast series about key moments in Cold War Sports history, discussing how sport was an arena for both conflict and friendship during the Cold War.

It's hosted on the Woodrow Wilson Centre website here:
