Journalist, broadcaster, and Sunday Times columnist Rod Liddle will be the new host of its Saturday morning show starting this weekend.
A long-standing columnist for The Sunday Times, as well a writer for The Sun and associate editor of The Spectator, Rod also worked on the BBC Today programme from 1988, later becoming its editor for five years.
He is also an author, with books including Too Beautiful For You (a collection of fiction), Selfish Whining Monkeys (a critique of the Boomer generation), and The Great Betrayal (a polemic). His fourth book, Dog: A Biography, is due out later this year.
Rod has made TV documentaries for Channel 4 and BBC Two, as well as a series for BBC Radio 4 on the relationships between wild animals and humans. He is also a regular commentator and guest on Question Time, Have I Got News for You, The Wright Stuff, Newsnight, Daily Politics and others.
Rod Liddle said:”I am thrilled, honoured and slightly terrified to be joining Times Radio as a weekly presenter. I hope that my programme might bring together fractured communities and spread peace and goodwill among people who hate each other.”
Tim Levell, programme director of Times Radio, added; “Rod is one of the most distinctive and fearless voices in British journalism. His show will bring energy to Saturday mornings, mixing sharp analysis with engaging conversations. Times Radio is the voice of The Times and Sunday Times, and this continues our mission to bring the best writers from the paper to our listeners. We’re delighted to have him on board.”
