Being Adopted, Working in Warzones & Going Undercover in Zimbabwe // BBC Broadcaster Martin Geissler

Martin Geissler has had an incredible career on the front line of global news, from the Iraq War and the Boxing Day tsunami, to going undercover to report from Robert Mugabe’s Zimbabwean regime.


You’ll hear some incredible stories and a fascinating insight into Martin’s profession, but also him as a man, something you’ll rarely get a glimpse of. His story about being adopted and the story that than ensues from that is something that Hollywood scriptwriters would struggle to replicate.


Martin’s a first class man and accomplished and respected at what he does, and you’ll very quickly get a sense of that. 


Once your interest in him has really piqued, you can hear more of him on Scotcast, a new daily news podcast available on TV and wherever you get your podcasts, so make sure you give that a listen. The Lockerbie episode is a great one to get a feel for what is a genuinely good show.
