In the week that saw Piers Morgan interview the Prime Minister and former Fox News pundit Tucker Carlson interview Vladimir Putin, it seems like there is no better time to ask what makes a good political interviewer and what makes a good political interviewee.

Oli sat down with Rob Burley, who worked alongside the likes of Andrew Marr and Emily Maitlis as the BBC’s editor of live political programmes, and today is the author of Why is this Lying Bastard Lying to Me: The Search for Truth on Political TV.
