Briefing on podcasts

Date/Time: April 30, 2025 14:00:00 - 15:30:00

Many IBT members have asked us to organise a session on podcasts, which continue to grow in popularity. In this session, we will hear from the BBC, Al Jazeera and The Guardian about some of their key podcasts that explore international issues. We'll find out how the podcasts are put together, and opportunities to pitch ideas or guests to the production teams.

We will be talking in particular about four podcasts: What in the World (from the BBC World Service), The Take (from Al Jazeera), Today in Focus (from The Guardian) and The Global Story (from BBC News).

Speakers

  • Ney Carrero Alvarez, head of audio at Al Jazeera
  • Phil Maynard, deputy head of audio at The Guardian
  • Emma Rippon, head of audio, BBC News
  • Julia Ross-Roy, senior producer, What in the World, BBC World Service

2-3.30pm Wednesday April 30th on Zoom
