Our guest this week is journalist and Channel 4 news presenter, Cathy Newman. After a decade on Fleet Street, Cathy moved to Channel 4 news in 2006, where she has become well known for her investigative scoops and interviewing expertise. Cathy has just released a book - Bloody Brilliant Women, which tells the stories of pioneering women who we may not know as much about as we should. We talked about her book - and everything from combatting worries to curly hair at her home in London, last month.
