A very warm welcome to this audio blog by distinguished war correspondent and television journalist Martin Bell OBE.
This is a most unusual blog. Instead of the usual text postings you find in most blogs, we wanted to record ten short programs in which Martin talks – unscripted and directly to the listener – about his reasons for writing his new book, THE TRUTH THAT STICKS.
At an age when most journalists have long ago collected their pensions and quietly taken retirement, Martin is still very much making waves, noise, asking awkward questions, upsetting politicians and generally doing what we all once believed it was a journalist’s job to do.
Martin still thinks that is what good journalists should do – and he’s still vigorously doing it.
Some of what Martin has to say is deeply disturbing. Other parts are wryly humorous. All of it is compelling listening – the voice of a lifetime’s experience from one of the world’s truly great journalists at the height of his powers.
Listening is easy – just click the “Play” button under each program. If you prefer, you can download each mp3 file, or you can click here to subscribe in iTunes.
I hope you enjoy these podcasts – if you do, please tell you friends about them by clicking on the “Share This” link.
And don’t forget to order a copy of Martin’s paperback, out now!
Best wishes,
