Digging deeper
I present BBC Radio 4's flagship documentary programme File on 4. Working with one of the best teams in investigative journalism today, it's my chance to work on in-depth investigations and tell some extraordinary stories.
No place to call home
142,000 children in England are homeless and living in what should be short term temporary accommodation. Many find themselves consigned to B&Bs and hotels - even shipping containers – some without a bed of their own, living among rats and cockroaches.
Tens of thousands will be there for more than five years. In this programme, children and teenagers describe how a system which is meant to be a safety net, has become a trap they can’t escape.

No area has been harder hit by the collapse of retailer Wilko than Worksop in Nottinghamshire. File on 4 follows former staff as they attempt to claw their way back into work.
