Fi Glover

Fi Glover is BBC journalist and presenter. She is the current host of BBC Radio Four's Sunday morning news analysis programme Broadcasting House, taking over from Eddie Mair in 2004. Her style is characterised by a mix of serious journalism and subtle satirical and sarcastic comment.

Glover started her BBC career in 1993 as a reporter on various local radio stations including BBC Somerset Sound, Humberside, Northampton and GLR. In 1997, she joined BBC Radio Five Livewhere she spent seven years as a key broadcaster in news and political coverage.

In 2000 Glover traveled the world visiting notable radio stations, which resulted in the book "I'm an Oil Tanker: Travels with my Radio" (ISBN 0091882745), named after a Spooneresque mistake by a news reader. The radio stations documented in the book include a temporary BBC station for the Euro 2000 football tournament, run from a cafe in Belgium, an English language station in Geneva, a station run by Irish UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon and Monserrat Radio which broadcast throughout the 1996 Volcanic eruption.
