So that’s whats happened, i’d noticed a number of the big names had disappeared from the podcasts.

I, for one am glad Paul Karp isn’t doing the Australian Politics podcast anymore, he was terrible. I’ve been enjoying some of the other journalists presenting the Essential Media updates with peter Lewis much more. Theres plenty of talent among all these people to take over the podcast, they could even get a couple of them on the podcast as joint presenters, a social familiarity between people on a podcast is important and dual presenters can really help that. Rest is Politics UK is a great example where this has worked really well.

Still sad Murphy left, but i’d argue she was the only really influential loss. The space is now clear for some really interesting new people to fill the gaps.
