Politics at Jack and Sam’s - There are a lot of politics podcasts launching at the moment, resulting in a rather saturated market. This series by Sam Coates from Sky News and Jack Blanchard from Politico stands out from the others though, because it primarily focuses on analysis and insider gossip on what is going on within the corridors of Westminster, rather than just opinion on whether what the politicians said or did was good or bad. 

Another difference is that the podcast doesn’t reflect on the week gone by. Instead, being recorded at home each Sunday night, it looks ahead to the next week in politics, using the political interviews on the Sunday morning news programmes as a starting point. Expect the analysis and insight in a Politico email, but in spoken form.
