Sangita Myska is an award-winning journalist and broadcaster working on national radio and television.

She is a presenter and editorial lead at the national news and current affairs radio station LBC. Her live, unscripted, show airs every Saturday and Sunday between 1pm to 4pm. The show tackles topics from politics, the NHS and education policy to race and women’s rights. She has gained a loyal audience with her direct approach to interviewing politicians and her conversational style with listeners. She also deputises for her colleague Shelagh Fogarty on the weekday LBC show and is a regular panellist on ‘Jeremy Vine on Channel 5’ and ‘Lorraine’ on ITV.

Since arriving at LBC, Sangita has won Current Affairs presenter of the Year at the 2023 ACTA Awards. Numerous video clips from her LBC shows have gone viral including when Tobias Ellwood MP, after a robust interview, changed his mind about abstaining on the House of Commons Privileges committee report live on air. Another clip featured listener ‘Jerry from Lowestoft’ who claimed that Rishi Sunak’s South Asian heritage meant he should not be Britain’s Prime Minister. Sangita’s calm dissection of the caller’s motives received widespread praise. The clip sparked worldwide debate about identity, politics and belonging and featured on Trevor Noah’s Daily Show in the United States as well as bulletins in India, Canada, the Caribbean and Australia. 

Before joining LBC, Sangita was the presenter, co-creator, and editorial lead of BBC Radio 4's "Positive Thinking," a series that sought solutions to entrenched social, political, educational, and environmental problems in Britain. In 2019, her reporting on the ‘Grenfell Tower Inquiry Podcast’ was described as a ‘significant contribution’ to winning the Best Current Affairs Category at the British Podcast Awards.

She was the first UK journalist to infiltrate a human trafficking gang working across EU borders and was awarded one of ‘Europe’s Top 50 Most Influential People 2008’ by the Financial Times’ sister magazine, European Voice. The 2008 report into child trafficking was credited with helping to influence the setting up of UN Gift (United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking). She was subsequently invited to the United Nations and the OSCE, to work on initiatives to encourage better reporting practice around vulnerable children and adults. 

At the BBC, Sangita has covered the Westminster Terror Attacks, the Dover Lorry Crisis, State Visits (President Obama, Pope Benedict and President Sarkozy, protests), and the Royal weddings of Harry and Meghan, and Kate and William as well as a string of high-profile trials and inquests involving Rolf Harris, Ben Kinsella, and the ‘Spy in the Bag’ Gareth Williams.
