The Political Party

Show 315 - Andrea Catherwood

Just a couple of weeks ago Andrea hosted the 25 year anniversary commemoration of the Good Friday Agreement with Hillary Clinton and George Mitchell. The event was in her native Belfast, so how did it feel to celebrate such a hopeful moment in the place she'd grown up during The Troubles? This is a phenomenal first-hand of account of the reality of living in Belfast during those years, what it felt like to leave and how it's shaped Andrea's approach to life and career. A career that took her all over the world as a foreign correspondent, reporting from places like Iraq and Afghanistan.   You will be completely engrossed from the first second.  Follow Andrea on Twitter here: <a href="https://twitter.com/acatherwoodnews" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/acatherwoodnews</a> Buy tickets to The Political Party, live at The Duchess Theatre here: <a href="https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde/</a>Forthcoming guests include:22 May: David Blunkett5 June: Philip Hammond19 June: Margaret Beckett3 July: Joe Lycett2 October: Jason Williamson Plus more to be announced!  Follow @mattforde on Twitter for the latest news Email the show: <a href="mailto:politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com</a> Hosted on Acast.
