Breaking The News with The News Agents
In a world that shifts by the hour, why are audiences turning to current affairs podcasts not just for headlines, but for meaning?
When huge stories break, people can get the facts instantly. But increasingly, that is only the start. They want the conversation behind the story, the context around it, the arguments in the edit, the questions journalists are still asking when the cameras are off, and the insight that helps them understand what really matters and what might happen next.
That is why current affairs podcasts have become such an essential part of the modern news diet and why The News Agents has become one of the defining shows of the moment.
From Global Studios; Director of Podcasts Vicky Etchells speaks with News Agents Emily Maitlis, Lewis Goodall and editor Tom Hughes as they take to the stage for a lively, revealing conversation about why audiences are more engaged with news than ever. They’ll discuss how podcasting has transformed the way stories are told, and why video is taking that relationship to another level.
This session will go behind the scenes of how The News Agents responds when the world changes in real time, what makes a story feel big enough to demand an instant episode, how the team balances rigour with personality, and why audiences now want smart journalism delivered with clarity, chemistry and point of view.
It will also explore the growing power of podcasts as video shows, how audience appetite is expanding across YouTube, social and on demand platforms, and why news, far from losing relevance, has rarely felt more immediate, more shared or more culturally alive.
Expect sharp analysis, candid stories from behind the mic, reflections on the moments that changed the news cycle, and a few teases about what is coming next.
