  • Tim Ross: How Labour Really Won The General Election
    On this episode of The Political Press Box I speak to Tim Ross, co-author of Landslide :The Inside Story of the 2024 Election (Biteback Publishing).Alongside his fellow co-author Rachel Wearmouth, Tim has provided the first full journalistic account of why Labour won the last general election in the UK and, perhaps more importantly, why the Conservatives lost the vote. I talked to Tim, who edits for Politico in his day job, about Rishi Sunak’s mentality coming into the campaign, how Labour used AI technology to get out their vote and his views on the early days of Sir Keir Starmer’s government as well as the lessons the news media can learn from the campaign and Trump’s victory in America. Edited, produced and hosted by Ian Silvera, editor of Tech, Power & Media.

  • How podcasts and YouTube changed politics forever
    On this episode of the Political Press Box, I speak to Nick Hilton, a former podcast producer for The New Statesman and The Spectator, who launched his own podcast company, Podot, more than six years ago.Nick is also a TV critic for The Independent and he has own Substack, Future Proof. But the reason why I spoke to Nick this time around is regarding the power of podcasting, with both the Trump and Harris campaigns attempting to win over podcast hosts, including the likes of Joe Rogan, The Nelk Boys, Andrew Shulz, Theo Von and Alex Cooper, and their highly-engaged audiences during the US election campaign.We also discuss the current state of YouTube, where many established content creators are going through a soul searching process, with some rethinking their relationship with the platform. I hope you enjoy the episode.
