We’re releasing this early as it’s too good to save! You may remember last Friday when Rich Peppiatt’s public resignation letter to the Daily Star made the headlines. He resigned citing, amongst other things, the paper’s alleged cosying up to the English Defence League as one of the the reasons.

We’ve managed to get the scoop and The Pod Delusion’s Sean Ellis spoke to him yesterday about why he decided to resign in such spectacular fashion. It’s worth noting that the Daily Star themselves refute many (if not all) of the allegations Rich makes so this should only be considered to be Rich’s account of what his time at the paper was like. You can read their full riposte at the bottom of the page on here.

Note: We’ve put this on the Pod Delusion Extra feed as a shorter version of this interview will appear in Friday’s normal Pod Delusion programme. You can find out how to subscribe to Pod Delusion Extra here.
