Update: 2025-04-11
Description
Jill Douglas is a journalist and sports presenter from the Borders, where she grew up in a small community on the family farm. How did she get from there to being one of the first female presenters on typically male dominated sports such as rugby union? Marcus chats about how she was set on becoming a journalist, what makes a good interview, as well as her great late friend Doddie Weir and the impact of M.N.D. She is the CEO of My Name is Doddie, the charity set up in his name that has had great success in channelling funding into research for the disease. Jill also talks about what it's like to interview sports stars that also happen to be friends or even a husband!
