News at Christmas?

From BBC article: Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus and Jamie Oliver named as BBC Radio 4 Today programme’s Christmas Guest Editors

Seven high profile figures will take over the Today programme during the festive period as Guest Editors.

For nearly 20 years the Guest Editors have transformed Christmas on Today, creating some of the most memorable moments in the programme’s rich history along the way.

 This year is no different and I’m enormously grateful these Guest Editors have given up their time to bring new stories, unexpected perspectives and a little festive cheer to the Today audience. — Owenna Griffiths, Editor of the Today programm

 As part of BBC Radio and BBC Sounds Christmas plans, Radio 4’s Today programme has announced this year’s Guest Editors, with seven taking over the programme during the festive period, including Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus and Jamie Oliver.

They will each guest edit Radio 4’s Today programme between 26 December and 2 January. Each programme will include an interview with the Guest Editor.

Björn Ulvaeus will consider the future of Europe. He will also look ahead to Eurovision 2023 and, after the launch of the ABBA Voyage concert in London, explore why the song contest and ABBA mean so much to the LGBTQ+ community. Björn and fellow ABBA legend, Benny, are creating a new arrangement of a track from ABBA’s 2021 album, Voyage, which will be recorded with a choir and broadcast as part of his programme.
