‘Now You Know’ is the latest addition to the Al Jazeera Podcast family. Hosted by Samantha Johnson, the show is dedicated to amplifying women's voices, delving into stories and sometimes uncomfortable topics. 

When the odds feel stacked against you, how do you come out swinging and winning? Former TV producer Sam McAlister went from working behind the scenes to hitting the headlines after securing the high-stakes interview with Prince Andrew following the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. In her autobiography, Scoops, and its recent Netflix adaptation, McAlister reveals how she overcame feeling like an outsider to achieve remarkable success.
