No Margin for Error: Inside High-Stakes Podcast Production
What does it actually take to deliver a podcast when the guest is a Prime Minister, a Prince, or another globally recognised public figure - and the margin for error is effectively zero?
Using examples including the Man Made special featuring Pete Wicks and Keir Starmer at 10 Downing Street, alongside Bryony Gordon’s experience interviewing figures including Prince Harry, this session explores what really goes into producing high-stakes podcast conversations in tightly controlled, high-pressure environments.
Rather than focusing on a single show, the panel opens up into a broader discussion around access, trust, editorial responsibility and the practical realities of producing ambitious visualised podcasts at the highest level.
Hosted by Lucie Cave (Chief Creative Officer, Bauer) the session brings together Cat Moran (Head of Production, Bauer), Finn Ryan (Exec Producer) and podcaster and columnist Bryony Gordon to compare approaches, challenges and lessons learned across political, cultural and high-profile interview settings.
