The Media Podcast

From 2014-2021, I hosted The Media Podcast, the online talking shop for the UK’s TV, print and digital media industry.

The fortnightly discussion programme, which started life in 2006 as The Guardian’s podcast ‘Media Talk’, features a regular roster of guests including critic Boyd Hilton, producer Faraz Osman, presenter Jane Garvey and veteran media commentators Maggie Brown and Trevor Dann; and reports each year from the Edinburgh International Television Festival.

After eight years of gossiping, I felt I’d ‘done my bit’, but I hope to return soon as a guest!
