  • You're listening to the Briefing, first broadcast on 24 December 2024 on Monacle Radio.

  • Hello, and welcome to a special edition of the Briefing, broadcasting to you live from Studio one here at Midori House in London.

  • Hi, I'm Tom Edwards.

  • This Christmas Eve, we're taking a look back at some of the biggest interviews from across Monacle Radio in the past 12 months.

  • Coming up on today's program, Oscar winning Danish director Suzanne Bier talks about her hit series the Perfect Couple.

  • You want to kind of tell audience just so much that maybe they think they know, but also not more than they anticipate that they don't know.

  • And it's that fine dance which is so exhilarating for directors.

  • Former FBI director turned crime fiction author James Comey discusses his novel Westport and the dangers of a new Donald Trump presidency.

  • It's like trying to communicate with a child.

  • And that's hard for people to believe because the Office itself carries with it this sense that it must be a person of gravitas.

  • But to tell Donald Trump something important, you have to interrupt him because he wants to talk about what he wants to talk about, and it's about himself.

  • Lisa Jackson, the vice president of environment policy and social initiatives at Apple, reveals the tech giant's sustainable business practices.

  • We focus on climate change and we focus on the impact of our company and our suppliers on climate change.

  • Since 2018, we've run on 100% renewable energy.

  • Every store, every office, every data center, those are all running on renewable energy.

  • Because that's our first goal here is to make sure our footprint is zero.

  • And multi award winning composer Hans Zimmer on how he wrote the score to one of the year's biggest Films, Dune Part 2.

  • My 13 year old teenage arrogance always why am I hearing an orchestra when I'm in space?

  • Isn't that all wrong?

  • So we built instruments, all that right here on this special Christmas Eve edition of the Briefing with me, Tom Edwards.
