Podcasting

Podcasting is a growth area in the media industry, but what is the business model? Evan Davis and guests discuss radio's audio rivals.

It seems these days everyone is making a podcast, from Michelle Obama and Kate Hudson to Alastair Campbell and Dua Lipa. Covering every subject from health and wellbeing to politics, food and even funerals, the last few years has seen a proliferation of new titles.
