Summary

The Bunker panel is back! This week, we dive into the wild world of podcasting. Anyone with a mic and a Wi-Fi connection can broadcast their thoughts to the masses – but should they? This month, the panel debates the pros and cons of the ever-expanding political podcast landscape. Are bro-casts speeding us toward cultural collapse? What are our biggest podcasting icks? And should there be legal restrictions on men aged 30-45 from purchasing microphones? Join host Jacob Jarvis with an all-star lineup of guests: Podmasters head honcho Andrew Harrison; audio reviewer at The Observer, Miranda Sawyer, and founder of London Centric and former media editor at The Guardian, Jim Waterson. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
