    Neil Counihan talks to Rosie Millard
    Aug 21 2020
    In this week's episode Extreme Leader Neil Counihan talks to his old school friend, journalist and Chair of BBC Children in Need, Rosie Millard.

    In the summer of 2018 Neil came out of a tube station, picked up a newspaper and read that Rosie was recovering from a huge brain tumour - so got back in touch.

    It's fair to say that in the last few years Rosie has been through some pretty tough times and
    in this podcast talks about her treatment and utter relief when the tumour was successfully removed.

    On a lighter note she also tells Neil about her love of marathon running and her passion for both the City and people of Hull.

    This is a great episode about leadership and overcoming obstacles.
