Snowcast
Have you been wondering just what’s going on in The Seven Kingdoms?
Now you can find out if the White Walkers have made it across the Wall, if King Joffrey is on a murder spree and whether the Queen Of Dragons has turned any armies into toast recently.
Hang on, this isn’t a podcast by that Jon Snow, one of the main characters in Game Of Thrones.
This is the podcasting debut of a TV star even more loved than The Prince Who Was Promised played by Kit Harington.
Channel 4 news anchor and lover of a wacky tie, Jon Snow, is dipping his toe into a burgeoning field of podcasts.
Following in the footsteps of Laura Kuenssberg and Emily Maitlis, who have found success away from grilling ministers in the world of podcasts, Snow is launching Snowcast. The much-respected heavyweight presenter of Channel 4 News left the programme in 2021 and has enjoyed his retirement so far; but at the age of 75 it’s heartening to see him embrace a new media platform.
Snow’s first guest is author and interviewer Jon Ronson, who penned excellent non-fiction studies The Men Who Stare At Goats and The Psychopath Test.
Ronson is also considered a bit of an expert on the ongoing culture wars, and the so-called cancellations which take place on social media.
The two have a meandering chat and Ronson is good value as ever, but Snow’s surprise at what he can and can’t do on an unregulated medium – unlike Channel 4 which was subject to Ofcom rules, of course – is hugely endearing.
Snow was a journalist for five decades and clearly still has plenty of questions left to ask.
Deep Cover: Never Seen Again
Deep Cover is a show about people who lead double lives. The third series, called Never Seen Again, tells the story of two women, living on opposite sides of the country, who went missing in the summer of 1999.
Seven years later, their stories collided when a small-town detective got a tip and became convinced that if he could solve one mystery, he’d solve the other…
Love, Janessa
You meet someone online, but it turns out many others think they have fallen for the same person.
We’ve all heard of internet scams, but often those used by the scammers to sell their cons – typically their pictures are used – themselves face unintended consequences.
One of the most commonly used faces was of adult entertainment star Janessa Brazil; Hannah Aduja investigates.
