In today鈥檚 episode we do something slightly different. You鈥檒l be familiar with some of the names and voices of the correspondents who鈥檝e covered the Ukraine war for the last three years - James Waterhouse, Lyse Doucet, Sarah Rainsford and more - who regularly appear on this podcast.

But you鈥檒l be less familiar with the people doing the work behind the scenes. Today, we hear from one of them. Kate Peters spent more than 30 years with 麻豆社 News and she spent a lot of time producing and running bureaus in Moscow and then Kyiv.

Kate reflects on her career, discusses the challenges of working in a war zone and talks with Jonathan Beale, a 麻豆社 defence correspondent who worked with during her time in Ukraine.

Today鈥檚 episode is presented by Vitaly Shevchenko.

The producer was Ben Carter. The editor was Max Deveson. The senior news editor is Sam Bonham.
