Fun times at the British Podcast Awards last night. Fortuitously, I had chosen a T-shirt that matched the logo and carpet. The eagle-eyed amongst you will observe that we are not clutching awards; this is due to some oversight which meant apparently we did not win.

This is Bernadette. When she was an NHS nurse, she asked some awkward questions about a database at work.

She says she found herself belittled, bullied and ignored.

Identified as a whistleblower, she went on to face years of meetings, investigations, and two employment tribunal claims.

In this month's edition of The Modern Mann she tells me how she lost her job, her savings and two court cases - but eventually found validation in a new role protecting other whistleblowers.

She considers what happens when organisations close ranks instead of listening, and why the real answer to whistleblowing isn’t punishing individuals, but fixing the systems that allow the problems to grow in the first place.

I hope you'll find it a really compelling listen.
