  • The Peter McCormack Show - #081 - Tom Clougherty - How the Government Broke the Economy

    Tom Clougherty is the Executive Director and Ralph Harris Fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, and one of Britain’s leading advocates for free markets, limited government, and economic reform. With years of policy experience and a deep understanding of Britain’s institutional dysfunction, Tom offers a no-nonsense diagnosis of the UK’s economic decline.

    In this interview, we explore why Britain feels broken - from punitive taxes and housing failures to bureaucratic overreach, political cowardice, and collapsing public services. Tom explains how the UK lost its economic edge, why the middle class is being hollowed out, and what must change to unleash growth and restore national confidence.

    • Apple made a number of announcements at WWDC. Among those relevant for us in podcasting:

      • Apple Podcasts will add a new “enhance dialogue” feature in playback, just like independent apps like Overcast and Pocket Casts have had for some time. The description is “Amplify just the voices in an episode for clearer listening”.
      • Apple Podcasts will also offer more playback speeds - anything between 0.5x and 3x. More importantly, the app will let you save your preferred speed per show - again, a feature already present in other apps. Overcast’s Marco Arment jokingly reacted by saying “I’m screwed”; but it should be noted that Apple Podcasts still lacks silence-skipping, a key feature of Overcast.
      • The “Browse” button in Apple Podcasts has been renamed “New”. “Discover the best of what’s new and what’s popular in podcasting”.
      • The new themeable icons perhaps mean that Apple Podcasts won’t always be “the purple app”. (Probably will be by default, though).
      • In other audio-related news, newer versions of Apple’s AirPods will be upgraded to add “studio quality audio recording” - good for interviewees who insist on using AirPods to chat with you.
      • iPadOS 26 will include audio input controls allowing you to choose different microphones for each app.
      • If you’re listening to a podcast using AirPods while you’re in bed, the audio will pause when you fall asleep.
      • And finally, there’s an animated now-playing widget for the lock screen, and if we’re really lucky, it might work with podcasts in the future maybe.
      • Exclusive: Former US Navy Seal Shawn Ryan is working with IRONCLAD on a new audio docuseries due for release later this year. The podcaster, who hosts the Shawn Ryan Show with Cumulus, beat Joe Rogan’s show to #1 for a time last year, and was also contacted by the person suspected of the Las Vegas Cybertruck explosion.

      • Pivot - LA Protests, Trump's Authoritarian Playbook, and Warner Bros. Discovery Split

        Kara and Scott discuss the protests in Los Angeles, dig into Trump's escalating authoritarian tactics, and debate how the Democratic Party should fight back. They also get some on-the-ground perspective from New York Times reporter Livia Albeck-Ripka, who's been covering the protests. Then, Trump threatens Elon Musk with “serious consequences” if he funds Democrats, but is Elon’s behavior on X a sign he’s crawling back? Plus, Warner Bros. Discovery confirms it’s splitting into two companies, just as Kara and Scott predicted.

        • Promo codes are almost 5x less effective for attribution than advertising pixels, according to data contained in the Q2 Podscribe Performance Benchmark Report, released today. The data, which includes benchmarks from Germany, France, Australia, the UK and Canada as well as the United States, also suggests that ads don’t work instantly, with around half of conversions happening more than a week after hearing advertising. The report is a free download.
        • Call Her Daddy’s Alex Cooper is the subject of a Hulu docuseries called Call Her Alex, which Variety says is “fine” but “simplistic”.
        • Goalhanger show The Rest is Football will be “enhanced” through the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup with official match clips, in a new partnership with DAZN.

        • On with Kara Swisher - NPR CEO Katherine Maher on GOP Attacks, Editorial Criticisms & Digital Evolution

          For the past five decades, every Republican president except Gerald Ford has tried to cut funding for public media. But NPR and PBS have never dealt with a moment like this, where the Trump administration is attacking them from every possible angle. A recent executive order demanded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (or CPB) and executive agencies halt all funding for NPR and PBS; the FCC is investigating their corporate underwriting; and this week, the House is expected to take up a rescissions package that would claw back federal funding for the CPB.


          Katherine Maher, the CEO of NPR, is fighting back. On May 27th, NPR and three Colorado member stations filed a suit challenging the president’s executive order. (PBS followed suit a few days later.) Suing the president is, obviously, an uncomfortable position for a media organization which has to cover him. But according to Maher, NPR is doing its patriotic duty to defend the First Amendment.


          Kara and Maher discuss the potential effects the defunding would have on NPR, its member stations, and the communities that it serves; criticisms aimed at NPR and Maher, from both conservatives, on one hand, and some journalists, on the other; and her approach to innovation at NPR.
