Carla Buzasi

An award-winning writer and journalist, Carla was the founding Editor-in-Chief of The Huffington Post in the UK, bringing the global news powerhouse to British shores in the summer of 2011.

During her time with HuffPost, she was twice named Editor of the Year at the Online Media Awards, and Media Innovator of the Year at the British Media Awards. She has also been included in Management Today’s annual 35 Under 35 list and The Drum’s Top 50 Female Innovators.

Specialising in opinion journalism, women's rights, fashion, travel and consumer behaviours, she has also held senior roles at Marie Claire and within Condé Nast's digital division.

In 2015, she left traditional media behind to take up a new role at Global Chief Content Officer at the world’s largest trend forecasting company, WGSN, and now spends a significant portion of her life, suitcase in hand, travelling between their worldwide offices. Instead of reporting on the here and now, today she is focused on predicting how we’ll behave, eat, live, dress and think in tomorrow’s world.

When on dry land, she has popped up on Newsnight, the Today programme and Sky News, and is a regular contributor to Channel 4’s What Britain Buys series.

While she might help mega brands predict their own future trends, she still takes hours deciding what to wear each morning.

Eddie Mair

Eddie Mair is, by his own account, one of Britain’s most beloved broadcasters.

Born in Dundee, Scotland, he has worked in radio all his adult life. From the foothills of commercial radio in his hometown, through the sunlit uplands of the BBC in Scotland, he has reached the peaks of his profession, with BBC network radio in London. 

In addition, he’s appeared on most of the BBC’s TV channels, including ones that are no longer on TV. He witnessed the handover of Hong Kong and once asked Arnold Schwarzenegger a question –though he takes no responsibility for either.

For nearly twenty years he has been at the helm of Radio 4’s PM: a nightly news round-up that means Eddie works for just one hour a day, giving him plenty time to knock together these diaries.

Eddie’s other work, as a humanitarian and tireless, secret worker for charity is not mentioned here. His diaries, titled A Good Face For Radio, were published by Little Brown in November 2017.

Kate Spicer

One of Britain's best known lifestyle journalists, Kate Spicer's 25 year career has seen her published in all of the British broadsheets, the middle and mass market tabloids, most glossy magazines and sometimes foreign press, including the LA Times.

She also documents amusing and explicit truths about her life, including her childlessness, that has made her a popular voice of a certain generation of women. For stories, she has run the Marathon des Sables, swum both the Bosphorus and the Solent and cycled the Etape Caledonia. She currently writes regularly for The Financial Times, Sunday Times, Evening Standard and Daily Mail.

Louis Theroux

Louis Theroux's documentaries follow his attempts to get to know the people at the heart of some of the world's - and especially America's - most controversial and fascinating lifestyles.

In a career spanning nearly two decades, he has interrogated the engrained criminals at San Quentin prison; lived with the extreme believers of the Westboro Baptist Church; gambled with the high-rollers at a Las Vegas mega-casino, and stalked game with trophy hunters on South Africa's wild animal farms.

Louis started out as a correspondent on Michael Moore's TV Nation before being signed up by the BBC to make his own series, Weird Weekends, about unusual American subcultures. In 2000, he began a series of specials about intriguing British public figures, including one featuring disc jockey Sir Jimmy Savile and another which saw him live with the disgraced Tory minister Neil Hamilton and his wife Christine as they were falsely accused of rape and subjected to a media siege.

Since then, he has immersed himself in numerous documentaries, spending more than a month in Miami for a two-part series about the inmates at one of America's most violent jails, revisiting his 1997 documentary about the world of male performers in Twilight of the Porn Stars and visiting one of the best schools in America for autism in Extreme Love: Autism.

Louis' feature-length documentary "My Scientology Movie" was released in the UK in Autumn 2016 and was the highest-grossing theatrical release documentary that year.

Louis is currently filming his next documentaries for the BBC both here and in the US.

Louis’s programmes have won numerous accolades including two Baftas and an RTS award and are shown all over the world. He also writes for print publications.

His 2005 travel book about some of his adventures, The Call of the Weird was re-published by Pan Books in March 2018 with some additional material. 

Pan Macmillan are set to publish two new books by Louis Theroux, the first of which, described by Louis as a “forensic and thoughtful appraisal of my life and career”, will be published in 2019.
