Dr Norman Swan on sudden fame and pandemic politics

Dr Norman Swan's COVID-19 analysis has made him one of the most recognisable media identities in the last two years.

But where did this highly articulate, bespectacled doctor with a Scottish accent come from?

In this chat with guest host Tom Tilley, Norman discusses his upbringing in Scotland, why he decided to get political during the pandemic and what he’s learnt about himself over the past few years.

Regular host Jamila Rizvi will be back next week.
