Episode notes

What a kickstart to this new season! The formidable Dorothy Byrne, ex Editor-at-Large and Head of News & Current Affairs at Channel 4 grabs imposter syndrome by the horns and tells it where to go. We cover everything from the serious accident that adversely affected her career, asking for what you deserve, menopause, mentors and all things in between.

Dorothy is now President of Murray Edwards College at Cambridge, who are incredibly lucky to have her in our opinion :-)
