Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast

Kevin Newman is the latest broadcaster to announce a move into the podcast space. Arguably one of the most successful broadcasters Canada has ever produced, Newman revealed last week he’s stepping away from CTV’s flagship investigative program W5 to host Attention Control -- a new podcast for iHeartRadio that will focus on technology and democracy.

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast, we talk to Newman about his pivot to podcasting, the impact of technology on the coming federal election and the future of news.

On this episode of Broadcast Dialogue - The Podcast - John Lawford, executive director and general counsel for the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC), who says in the current climate it's increasingly difficult for groups like PIAC to represent the consumer.
