Sky News Daily - Daily news podcasts have been growing in popularity this year, but one that we somehow have not yet written about is this excellent series from Sky News. Hosted by Niall Paterson, each episode explores one talked about topic in the news 

In a week where the licence fee was announced to be increasing by £10 a year, but lower than actual inflation so the BBC will likely have to cut programming and services, Niall speaks to possible alternative models to the licence fee from elsewhere in the world. Episodes are only 15 minutes each, which makes the analysis sharp and snappy.
