“There's interesting data that's been coming out suggesting that podcasts and hosts are the most trusted figures in media.”

Brian Reed, (Host of Question Everything, S-Town - This American Life)

The Media Roundtable is back! This week we’re bringing you a hard-hitting story featuring a unique, journalistic perspective on the landscape of audio and media.

Dan Granger, (CEO & Founder, Oxford Road) sits down with journalist Brian Reed, (Host of S-Town, The Trojan Horse Affair, This American Life) about Brian’s new hit podcast Question Everything, 7 years in the making.

Back in 2017, Australian journalist, Gay Alcorn criticized S-Town as being "morally indefensible". After brushing off that criticism, Brian Reed did something extremely clever: he sat down for an in-depth chat with Alcorn in the Question Everything podcast pilot.

Together, Dan and Brian discuss: the origins of S-Town and Question Everything, ethics and bias in storytelling, journalistic principles for advertisers, and more. Let’s dive in.
