    Rob Nothman not only interviews the stars, he trains them! Yes, that's right, Rob is one of the BBC's reporters, covering the Premier League and other sports. But when he's not at matchdays, chasing interviews, he's working in his other role withy the BBC by training their new talent.

    Rob has helped build the careers of the likes of Gary Lineker and so many others.

    So this episode is priceless is hearing from a someone who has pretty much seen and done it all in broadcast media.
