Jane Little

Jane Little is a writer and broadcaster who combines specialist reporting on religion with a wide brief as presenter. She regularly sits in the chair of Woman's Hour, Sunday, Last Word, and The World Tonight on BBC Radio 4.

Jane was born and raised in Kendal, Cumbria. She read Theology and Religious Studies at King's College, Cambridge, and went on to Harvard University, where she studied the relationship between religion and politics in the US, a subject she has written and reported on for more than a decade.

Jane started her career at BBC Radio Newcastle and then worked as a producer and reporter on The World at WGBH Boston, after which she returned to the UK to create the post of Religious Affairs Correspondent at the BBC World Service.

She's written and presented documentaries from across the world, and until recently was a BBC Washington Correspondent.

Not one to sit still, she's currently based in Tucson, Arizona, where she is spending time with a medicine man, and writing a book on spirituality and health.
