One podcast we’d recommend adding to your list is Media Confidential. Hosted by former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger and former Financial Times editor Lionel Barber, the podcast explores the biggest issues shaping modern journalism, media and public trust.

What makes it so compelling is that it goes beyond the headlines. Episodes unpack the pressures facing newsrooms today, from AI-generated content and SEO-driven publishing to the wider challenge of maintaining credibility in an increasingly fast-moving media landscape.

Conversations with leading editors, journalists and industry insiders offer thoughtful insights into how the industry is evolving and what that means for audiences and brands alike.

For anyone working in media, communications or advisory roles, it’s a genuinely insightful listen. Smart, timely and consistently thought-provoking, Media Confidential is the kind of podcast that leaves you looking at the news cycle a little differently.
