#4 - Andrew Billen - Journalist, Feature Writer, TV Critic and Author

Published: Nov. 9, 2020, 3:35 p.m.

This week on the Oxon Inspires Podcast we had the pleasure, and pressure, of chatting to Andrew Billen about his illustrious 40-year career as part of Britain’s journalistic elite. We say pressure, as Andrew ‘has carved out a career as one of Britain’s most feared interviewers’, spending much of his career interviewing celebrities and high society; thankfully, the shoe was on the other foot!

 

As an awarding winning journalist and interviewer, he tells many stories of his experiences interviewing those in the limelight and how he continues to craft successful pieces today.

 

Andrew is a charming chap, who is passionate about his craft. Listen in to the show as he offers highlights of his fascinating career, provides tips for future generations of journalist, and opens up about Oxford, the place he calls home.
