So what is that? Is it a kind of festival or something? Adam So Adam, earlier you did something very industry and you mentioned something that some people will have no idea what it is, which is Upfronts. And I think that's part of what's really fun about what we're doing here. The stories that Adam and the team will be covering affect all of us and they might get into the minutiae and there might be stuff about reach and about growth and all those things, but there'll also be stuff about culture and development. And I think that's the same message that goes through Pod Pod as well. Um but I also um, I'm really excited about, PodPod because you know, we've built over the last, five or six years a reputation for being the big tent of the podcast industry that everyone big and small, all the players, whether you are making things in your house or in an office or wherever you are, and however big your company or um operation is, there's a place for you at the awards. So obviously I love PodPod, I love everything about PodPod. So, in a way, Haymarket are my bosses right now. Haymarket acquired the British Podcast Awards early this year, and that really was the signal that Haymarket were serious about the podcast industry and getting into it. So a little bit of background, that podpod is made by Haymarket. Well, from my two perspectives, I suppose, I think first of all from the British Podcast Awards side, I think it's really interesting. So Matt, from your perspective, what are you hoping to get out of ? Matt We've got outstanding features on the politics of co-hosting, how to use podcasts as a tool for promoting live events, the relationships between podcasting and mental health. We are going to have industry news and last week I was at the IAB Podcast Upfronts and we've got some really juicy nuggets that came out of that. So the biggest news of the week in the world of podcasting is of course the launch of, which will be the website for this podcast, and will be your source for everything to do with podcasting and the podcast industry. Before we get into everything that we talked about with Alastair Campbell - and we did talk about pretty much everything - what is going on in the world of podcasts at the moment? Adam It is of course Alastair Campbell who will be talking all about his podcast with Rory Stewart, The Rest is Politics. He has been communications director for Downing Street. He worked as Blair's spokesman and campaign director. This week we are very much delving into the world of news and political podcasts because we have a very impressive guest. So it has been a pretty wild week in the world of politics. So not really a big deal in any capacity in the podcast world. I'm your host, and I am joined by Adam Shepherd, editor of PodPod, and Matt Hill, who runs production company Rethink Audio, and is the co-founder of the British Podcast Awards.
