Rachel Johnson is joining LBC to present her own Friday evening programme - starting this evening.

One of the UK’s leading journalists and broadcasters, Rachel will bring her unique insight, candour and personality to LBC every Friday from 6pm.

With the listeners taking centre stage, the brand-new, hour-long show will be packed with opinions, debate and the latest news. While Rachel will be behind the mic, LBC’s audience will be in the driving seat to discuss the big issues of the day that matter to them.
