My Take
What fascinates me about Alistair Appleton is the arc from broadcaster to psychotherapist and meditation teacher. A lot of presenters chase visibility; he seems to have walked the opposite way, toward stillness. I read that not as a career pivot but as a single instinct expressed two ways, the desire to put people at ease, whether on camera or on a cushion. Born in Tunbridge Wells in 1970, fluent enough to translate and report, he strikes me as a genuinely curious mind. I respect people who trade the spotlight for depth, and Appleton looks like one of them.
