On this episode of the Mrs Yorkshire podcast Sophie Mei Lan is joined by Bradford-born Christa Ackroyd. Sophie hears about Christa's life long interest in the Brontë sisters.
Christa herself has helped to put Haworth and the whole of Yorkshire back on the map with her career as the face of ITV Calendar News and then BBC Look North. She covered many high profile stories until she was marred in controversy and her contract was terminated by the BBC.
Christa was eventually vindicated but she believes many people haven't heard that part of the story. For the first time Christa shares her own story behind the headlines.
The Mrs Yorkshire Podcast is brought to you by the Yorkshire Post with Sophie Mei Lan meeting some of Yorkshire’s most famous faces in their favourite places.
The Mrs Yorkshire podcast is sponsored by Whitby Seafoods - the home of scampi.
