Great to learn that Bangladesh's Clothing Conundrum I produced for BBC WS got nominated for an AIB International Broadcasters award. Many thanks to Sheemtana Shameem, @Kristine3108, Penny Dale, @CTVC and all in UK and Bangladesh who helped make it happen.

The Zone of Interest featured the life and children of Rudolf Höss, commandant of Auschwitz. On BBC World Service’s Weekend programme his grandson Kai talks about his family's past. It was one of the most moving interviews I’ve produced. Listen at 39’30”

I had the privilege of interviewing Patricia Owtram, the 100 year-old British code breaker, as part of celebrating D-Day. Like many women, she kept quiet about her vital role, even long afterwards, only writing about it in her late 90's. Listen at 45' in

The idea of playfulness and stories don’t immediately conjure up associations with Japan, but @young_vam I found some surprising connections at Japan: Myths to Manga. Listen to my report at 36' in on BBC World Service

Cryptocurrencies are again on the rise. Their freedom from regulators is attractive but that freedom is also good for bad actors who've moved past bitcoin onto other cryptos. See my report with @techvsterrorism and @MerkleScience on this week's @SOEPTech

With elite sportspeople like Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams and Lewis Hamilton eating plant based diets, I joined some grassroots vegan athletes at one of London's 5K park runs, learning about the decisions behind their diets. It's at 14'30"

@BBCClick @carljackmiller @ro_martin 18 months ago a film I produced for @BBCClick with @carljackmiller and @ro_martin uncovered major illegal parrot trafficking within the global pet trade. Now CITES which oversees endangered wildlife trade has suspended their imports until it's addressed.

Is it right that the data we generate is bought and sold to third parties, often without our knowledge? Data unions don't think so and they're fighting for our rights and are being helped by EU legislation

With France soon to pay people to repair and recycle their clothes, check out a documentary I just produced about sustainability in fashion. Sustainability is a buzzword we all love to think we're part of, but how sustainable is sustainability?

Wikipedia, one of the true wonders of the internet, is under fire, again. But researchers are working to understand the strategies of bad actors and counter them. More to come in 2023. Listen to my interview with @carljackmiller for @digitalplanet
