My Take
I have a soft spot for broadcasters who can make economics feel human, and Evan Davis does exactly that. A trained economist who became the BBC's economics editor, he then reinvented himself as the warm, sharp host of Dragons' Den and Radio 4's PM. That pivot fascinates me: it takes real skill to translate dense financial thinking into something a living room understands. Oxford-educated and honoured with a doctorate, he could have stayed academic, yet he clearly loves conversation. I value that bridge between rigour and empathy, and I think it's why his voice has stayed trusted for so long.
