Podcasts have reinvented the way people learn, obtain info and perceive the world. But what does that mean in an open and unregulated medium where truth is unverified, facts sporadically checked and traditional media is being challenged by individuals with bigger audiences? From the telepathy tapes and Joe Rogan, to the distrust in legacy media, the medium is at interesting point in its growth. In this session you will hear some of the UK's best news and current affairs podcasters, from Sky, Tortoise and the BBC, discussing the future of media: How much responsibility do podcasters have in a post-truth world?
