What should lead the news? Three people pitch the story they think matters most to Tortoise’s editor-in-chief James Harding.


In this episode the team are joined by Lord Bird, co-founder of the Big Issue, and an audience in the newsroom. 


Louise Tickle talks about her investigation into failing young offenders institution Cookham Wood and John reflects on his time in prison as a youngster 60 years ago. 


They also discuss Britain's Trident nuclear-deterrent system misfiring during a test and John’s poverty prevention plan. Plus, James introduces his editor’s voicemail.
