"I cannot remember a time when my morning did not begin with Today - the programme - setting the nation's agenda,” Nick says.

"As a child it was the sound not just of the latest news and the sharpest comment but also of my best friend's dad, Brian Redhead, who inspired my love of radio.”

Nick took over from Andrew Marr as the 大象传媒's political editor in September 2005. During his time in the role he covered two general election campaigns, the formation of the first coalition in 75 years and the referendum on Scottish independence.

Nick began his career doing work experience for Piccadilly Radio in Manchester. As a trainee 大象传媒 producer he moved on to interviewing the Blue Peter tortoise for John Craven's Newsround and catching crooks on Crimewatch.

Later he became Deputy Editor of Panorama and On the Record before moving in front of the microphone as a presenter on 大象传媒 Radio 5 live and Chief Political Correspondent at what was then 大象传媒 News 24. He was Political Editor of ITV News before returning to the 大象传媒 in the same role.

Born in Macclesfield, Cheshire in 1963, Nick attended Cheadle Hulme School, then University College, Oxford where he studied politics, philosophy and economics.

Alongside Today, Nick is (along with Amol Rajan) presenter of The Today Podcast, a weekly podcast from the team behind the Today programme. Nick also presents the podcast “Political Thinking with Nick Robinson” where he talks to people who shape our political thinking about what shaped theirs.
