  • Three podcasts, one question: How influential is the media on the election?

    Newscast, The Today Podcast and When It Hits The Fan are coming together for a special election episode. Hosts from all three podcasts will discuss the role of the media in this summer's political campaign. Do newspapers still matter to political campaigns? Do the TV debates change people’s minds? And how much impact is social media really having?

    The episode features Adam Fleming, Amol Rajan, Alex Forsyth, Marianna Spring, David Yelland and Simon Lewis.

    This episode was a collaboration between the teams that make Newscast, The Today Podcast and When It Hits the Fan.
