UK’s Prospect Magazine launches new podcast

The following excerpt was sent out from Prospect Magazine’s editor Alan Rusbridger:

Today I’m delighted to announce we are launching a brand new weekly podcast called Media Confidential, which adds to Prospect’s growing digital repertoire.

A new episode will be released every Thursday morning (UK time), hosted by myself and Lionel Barber, former editor of the Financial Times. With over 80 years of journalism, editing and publishing experience between us, we will take you behind the headlines into the hugely important world of media.

What—and who—drives it? What do they get right? What do they get wrong… And why does it matter?

We will bring listeners revealing, high-profile guest interviews and in-depth analysis. The first episode features an interview with Michael Wolff, author of the new book: The Fall: The End of Fox News and the Murdoch Dynasty and Malcolm Turnbull, former prime minister of Australia.

You can listen and download Media Confidential on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and also follow the podcast on X/Twitter @mediaconfpod, or listen to the first episode below.

We hope you enjoy it, and welcome your feedback to mediaconfidential@prospectmagazine.co.uk
