Analysis & Investigations Editor at Global
Lewis Goodall is the Analysis & Investigations Editor at Global and co-presenter of a podcast with Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel. He has a background in storytelling, having produced and presented documentaries for the BBC, where he covered policy, government, and economics.

Lewis began his career in 2010 as a researcher with Granada Television, writing questions for University Challenge. He joined the Institute for Public Policy Research in 2011 before moving to the BBC in 2012 as a producer and reporter. He worked on BBC Two’s Victoria Derbyshire and produced the Radio 4 documentary Generation Right, which examined young people's political trends.

In 2017, Lewis became a Political Correspondent for Sky News, leading a two-year project touring the UK in the 'Lewis Lorry' to explore the impact of Brexit on various communities. After three years, he returned to the BBC as Policy Editor for Newsnight, contributing to election coverage and reporting on significant issues such as the war in Ukraine, the aftermath of the Grenfell fire, and the 2020 schools exam crisis, for which he was nominated for the Orwell Prize.

In September 2022, Lewis joined Global, where he co-presents a podcast and serves as Analysis & Investigations Editor, focusing on video journalism and breaking news for LBC. He also writes for the New Statesman magazine.

His book, Left for Dead? The Strange Death and Rebirth of the Labour Party, published in 2018, analyses Labour's political journey from Tony Blair's leadership to Jeremy Corbyn's tenure and its implications for the party's future.

Lewis studied History and Politics at St John's College, Oxford, becoming the first in his family to attend university. He has also studied French in Paris and Mandarin in Beijing. He resides in London.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Can I request a speaker to send a personal greeting?

We do not accommodate requests for birthday messages or any other personal, non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How much do speakers and comedians cost?

We work with speakers across a variety of fee ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose someone who fits your event's needs. Virtual keynote fees in the UK and Europe typically start at £2,000, while in-person top-tier speakers can reach £25,000. In the US, virtual in-person fees range from $5,000 to over $100,000, depending on the speaker and format, such as after-dinner talks, conference keynotes, Q&As, or podcasts. Comedians generally start at £1,500 or $2,000 for a 20-minute set.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit. The most expensive option isn’t always the best one, and our priority is finding the ideal speaker or expert for your needs; not the highest-priced one.
