American actress Angelina Jolie has landed herself a slot on the radio but only for a day.
Angelina Jolie will guest edit BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on the 28th December 2018.
Jolie, who is a special envoy to the UN Refugee Agency, is expected to invite a series of guests including refugees and survivors of conflict to discuss the global refugee crisis and solutions to violence against women in war zones.
According to BBC, a spokesperson for the actress said she has already begun working with the Today programme team, saying the actress was “grateful for this opportunity to draw on the BBC’s global expertise and network to explore practical solutions to a number of pressing issues of our time.”
She is one of a number of guest editors to take over various radio programmes during the festive season between 22 December to 1 January,
Bob Shennan, the BBC’s director of radio and music, said the schedule was “an unrivaled collection of programmes”.
