What's behind the glut of politics podcasts? Hardly a month goes by without a new title being launched, competing with established brands like The New York Times’s The Daily and the wildly popular The Rest is Politics with Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart. We talk to the team behind the latter about the secrets of its success, and the opportunities for journalists who want to break free of the strictures of traditional broadcasting. We also consider their appeal to politicians and reflect on the dominance of the medium by middle aged men. Plus we ask how much influence these platforms ultimately have. Also in the programme, we look at the row engulfing The Washington Post's new British CEO Will Lewis.
Guests: Baroness Ruth Davidson, Co-presenter, Electoral Dysfunction; Lewis Goodall, Co-host, The News Agents; Tony Pastor, Co-Founder, Goalhanger Podcasts; Adam Fleming, Presenter, Newscast; Nick Hilton, Co-founder, Podot; Vivian Schiller, Executive Director, Aspen Digital
Presenters: Katie Razzall & Ros Atkins
