Sometimes the figures used on this podcast don’t seem like the right ones. Eg on the latest voicemail, figures were given for the percentage of global military spending but not at all clear that the numbers had been examined to account for the fact that UK massively overpays for kit due to...Read full review »

Podcasts have replaced radio in the same way streaming has replaced traditional tv. As an avid consumer of podcasts from history to tech and true crime (everyone has his guilty pleasures) to news, I find the news meeting to be the best news podcast out there, and there are pretty good ones out...Read full review »

A recent discovery and now a regular listen. Unlike another popular news pod where it seems they’re sometimes fighting for airtime (!) the presenters / guests on this one seem less focussed on overt entertainment and more on engaging the audience with journalism. Passionately presenting topics,...Read full review »

Informative and insightful in an innovative format. This was one of my favourite podcasts but really disappointed this has been blended in with the patronising and irrelevant ‘sense maker’ podcast. Why can’t News Meeting be its own feed like all the other podcasts in Tortoise News?

Loved today’s episode, where water pollution was discussed. The passionate debate was invigorating and a refreshing change.

What’s the added value of this podcast. Also a very arrogant presenter, I don’t like the approach.

I love the format and the analysis. I wish this had been available when I was younger the insight would have really helped me understand what journalism is

A really informed and thoughtful debate about the big stories in the news and which should lead it. I love this podcast - and wish it was on every day. Definitely my favourite news podcast.

Such a terrific listen. Great job everyone involved.

A terrific half-hour which provides new insights on the news, and a window into how journalists think. Would only suggest that - because Harding and Blackmore have such obvious chemistry - they should be on every week, or have their own show.

A hugely enjoyable podcast with sensible discussion and debate. Nobody takes themselves too seriously and the guest judges are a nice touch. I refuse to listen to the latest episode with Ms Johnson chairing, however.

This has quickly become one of my favourite weekly podcasts. The concept is simple but brilliant, James Harding is excellent and the discussions are interesting, thought provoking and often humorous. I look forwards to every episode!

As well as learning a lot about the issues pitched for consideration it is very interesting hearing the thinking behind what makes news newsworthy. Am enjoying hearing a range of different voices.

Super interesting and enjoyable look at how the headlines are decided. Gently humorous and searching discussion on the topics raised. Very agreeable panel and balanced discussion, Thoroughly recommend.

Love the concept and conversation. I appreciate the exploration of the each news item on the slate, the differing viewpoints and hearing from the experts as to what will work best and what needs to be considered. Looking forward to future episodes.
