Briefing on podcasts

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 three podcasts: What in the World (from the BBC World Service), The Take (from Al Jazeera) and Today in Focus (from The Guardian).

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

2-3.30pm Wednesday April 30th on Zoom
