In this episode of Stop The Press!, we explore how the podcast boom has breathed new life into long-form journalism. From deep-dive investigative series to immersive narrative storytelling, podcasts have created space for nuance and depth in a fast-twitch media world. We chat about what makes audio such a compelling format, and how traditional media outlets are adapting to the new soundscape. Tune in to hear how journalism is evolving - one episode at a time.

In this episode of Stop The Press!, we delve into a pressing question: Why does the public seem to care less about the news today than they did 30 years ago? From the rise of digital overload to growing distrust in media, we explore the shifting habits, attitudes, and platforms that have reshaped how (and whether) people engage with current affairs.

Has the 24-hour news cycle left audiences fatigued? Has social media replaced journalism with algorithms and opinion? Or are people simply overwhelmed, anxious, or disengaged by a world that feels increasingly chaotic?

In this episode of Stop The Press!, we dive into the media coverage surrounding Reform UK - the most disruptive force in British politics today. As the party gains traction in the polls, we examine how outlets on both the left and right are reporting on its progress, policies, and leadership.

Is the traditionally partisan press adapting to Reform UK’s rise - or doubling down on familiar narratives? What does this say about longstanding media biases and the shifting political landscape? Join us as we unpack headlines, analyse editorial tone, and explore what the coverage tells us about journalism in the UK today.
