Season 2 starts here - and we’re not easing in. In this episode of 'New Chapters Podcast with Isabel Webster', former Newsnight producer turned author and speaker Sam McAlister shares the extraordinary story behindthe interview that shook the world - and the moment she risked everything to change her life. Best known for securing Prince Andrew’s now-infamous BBCinterview, Sam takes us inside the 13-month pursuit that led to one of the most explosive moments in modern journalism.From walking into Buckingham Palace “for a bit of a day out” to negotiating at the highest levels of power, she reveals how instinct, persistence, and fearless belief made it happen.

A single mother with no safety net, Sam knew the stakes were real: “If this doesn’t work, my child doesn’t eat.” Despite landing the interview that dominated global headlines, she didn’t receive the recognition she expected — a moment that forced a life-defining decision. What followed was a dramatic pivot. Sam opens up about leaving the BBC, backing herself, andturning her untold story into the bestselling book Scoops — with Netflix buying the rights before it was even published. She reflects on the surreal experience of being portrayed by Billie Piper on screen, and how the financial and personal rewards of her biggest success only came after she walked away.From working-class beginnings to becoming the first in herfamily to attend university, training as a criminal barrister, and reinventing herself at Newsnight — Sam’s story is one of relentless reinvention. She also shares the deeply personal moments that shaped her: becoming a mother under unimaginable circumstances, battling imposter syndrome, and learning to “flex her confidence muscles” — choosing herself, even when therisk felt overwhelming.This is an episode about power, pressure, and possibility —and why sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come when you stop playing it safe.🎙️ New Chapters is back — and this is just the beginning. → The interview that changed everything → “I just wanted my name on my work” → Netflix, book deals & global impact → Why betting on yourself is the only real strategy If you’ve ever doubted yourself, felt like an outsider, orwondered what happens when you take the leap — this one’s for you.
