John Sweeney is trouble. He's taken on Vladimir Putin, challenged Donald Trump, and after months of uncovering hard truths in Ukraine, this old-school reporter is back. John is never silent about what he’s experienced. Sweeney talks, and in this podcast, so do his guests.
 
John speaks to people like him, who are not prepared to be part of the silent majority. They have put their livelihoods and personal reputations on the line to challenge those who run our governments, lead our industries, control our finances and dictate the way we live. They refused to toe the line, and have found themselves in trouble. Big trouble. Activists, agitators, heroes… or villains. You decide.
 
Go to Global Player for exclusive bonus episodes where John offers candid reflections on what he's discovered during each interview, what surprised him and what we can learn from it all.

EXCLUSIVE Sweeney Keeps Talking: Jackie Malton

Known for being the real-life inspiration for the character DCI Jane Tennison in the Prime Suspect TV drama series, Jackie Malton always wanted to be a detective. She joined the police force in the 1970s, when male police recruits were given a truncheon and female recruits were given a handbag. Jackie rose through the ranks to become one of only three female detective chief inspectors in the Metropolitan Police. But then she made a complaint about another officer, accusing them of corruption. Her reward? To be treated as if she was a traitor.

EXCLUSIVE Sweeney Keeps Talking: Alan Johnson

To many, he’s the greatest Prime Minister we never had. Born into post-war poverty, Alan Johnson’s childhood was tough. Alan was orphaned when he was 12 and brought up by his sister, Linda. They fought to stay together and escape the slums. Alan became a postman at the age of 18 before becoming a politician, holding a range of ministerial posts including Home Secretary. He tells John Sweeney what it was like to be grindingly poor in 1950’s Britain and what he loves and loathes about the Labour Party.

EXCLUSIVE Sweeney Keeps Talking: The Hamiltons

One of the best-known double acts in British politics, the Hamiltons have been in and out of trouble their whole lives. In 1997, Neil lost Tatton, one of the safest Tory seats in the country to Independent candidate Martin Bell. Christine’s verbal attacks during the election earned her the nickname ‘Battleaxe’. After losing to Martin Bell, the Hamiltons went on to reinvent themselves as media stars and became famous for… well, being famous. After Neil's recent return to politics, how do they reflect on careers spent dividing opinion?

Neil and Christine Hamilton: The political double act

"He knows everything about me, he knows where to find me no matter where I go. The police know - yet he's a free man. The walls are closing in. I'm starting to crack - I can't do this much longer."

LBC presenter Shelagh Fogarty shares her experience of being stalked, when a listener became obsessed and started to follow her. Stalking pushed her to the edge of coping. It's changed her forever and now she's trying to find a way to carry on. 
One in five women will be victims of stalking in their lifetime. We might think we're safe - but are we really? 

If you think you or someone around you is being stalked, please can the police or the national stalking helpline on 0808 802 0300.
