S10 Ep 5: From Interviewer to Interviewee & the story behind my book - Ellie Barker

*SPECIAL EPISODE ALERT*Every week I think my Next Chapter guests are so brave telling us openly and honestly - about the ins and outs of their Next Chapters, I decided to hand over the microphone (for one episode only) – and tell the story behind my book. Now, I want you to know I wouldn’t let just anyone into our Next Chapter world. My interviewer is Rob Murphy, who is not only of the most respected journalists at ITV where I work - he's also my husband. He’s a crime journalist so his stories are different to mine. But I do know his question-asking is one of the best, and he has decades of experience. I didn’t know what any of the questions were going to be (I wanted it to be a proper/no special treatment interview) – nor did either of us know if Cookie would try to interrupt the recording. But I wanted the story of how Iris, Jack and Peggy came to life to be told and I really hope you'll enjoy this first meeting of them.And if you would like to read Do We Really Have To Do This? you can find it at elliebarkerwrites.com or you can click here.
