Description

Legends of News is a gripping, deeply personal podcast hosted by award-winning broadcaster Dermot Murnaghan, exploring the golden era of television news through the voices of those who shaped it.


With over four decades in the newsroom himself, Dermot invites fellow household names to reveal what it was really like in front of the camera when the world changed in real time.


Through candid conversations, listeners are granted a front-row seat to history: from breaking global events to chaotic newsrooms, unforgettable interviews with world leaders, and the occasional live blooper.


As history echoes through current events, these news giants reflect on how the past informs the present—and share where life has taken them now.


Legends of News is a warm, revealing, and inspiring chronicle of the stories that must not be forgotten
