David Knowles, the Telegraph journalist behind the award-winning Ukraine: The Latest podcast, has died.
Mr Knowles, 32, who worked as a senior audio journalist and presenter, died while in Gibraltar on Sunday following what was believed to be a cardiac arrest.
He joined The Telegraph in 2020 as deputy head of social media and was later promoted to head of social media.
Upon the outbreak of the Ukraine war in 2022, Mr Knowles launched Ukraine: The Latest, a weekday podcast that is still running two years later.
This year, Ukraine: The Latest won the Best News Podcast at the Publisher Podcast Awards.
Mr Knowles’s father, Peter, described his eldest son as someone who “loved life and he lived it just as well as he could”.
He said: “David’s commitment to journalism was intense. He was never more proud than when he finally shrugged off a management job title and regained a title with the word ‘journalist’ in it, and he was utterly engaged with the story of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the impact on its people, making four trips to the country and always planning the next.”.............
.........He and the podcast team also toured the show in America last year, where a large part of its audience is based.
More recently, Mr Knowles and the team were invited to speak at the US embassy in London, at the Chalke History Festival, and at Armed Forces Day in Scarborough about the Ukraine war.
If he was convinced about Ukraine, it's a fair guess he would be convinced about the vax too.
^this
That crossed my mind.
Gibraltar infamously had no 'covid' throughout 2020 then it went through the roof when they started vaxxing.
Indeed.
This is one “died suddenly” that I would be looking for an umbrella stab.
A 6 inch umbrella.
The Great Baffling is upon us.
