Today in Direction
Today in Focus, on the whole is a great magazine style audio podcast. Covering a wide range of issues from and including the decay of democracy in the UK and the great economic disaster that is Brexit, the rise of private companies employed to influence election results around the globe, inside Black Lives Matter movement to exposing the decades long use of police infiltration into political movements by imbedding undercover police inside communities. It has even examined its own history and looked at the Guardian and its connection to Black Slavery and how the founders of the Guardian benefitted from Imported cotton and manufacturing. All this would lead you to believe that the Guardian and its podcast Today in Focus present a balanced and informative news and current affairs podcast. On the most part they do and it is but on occasion, the interviewer will let you know what their personal feelings are about an interview subject, or someone which I don’t believe is necessary. Again on occasion, an interviewer will answer their own question by recapping, paraphrasing and interpreting what the interviewee has not necessarily said, once again not necessary. Let the truth speak and the audience form their own conclusion. You don’t need to sell immorality, immorality will identify itself. Sometimes it’s obvious that a story needs more than the obligatory 40 mins and a follow up show is required, budget restraints notwithstanding, I for one would like stories to be revisited. However, generally and on the whole, Today in Focus is a great show that I look forward to and encourage others to listen to. There’s no substitute for experience but youth, rather than wasted on the young travel in the same direction as experience. Thanks for podcasting, RiddlyTunes Auckland NZ
