Brexitcast podcast to get late-night 91Èȱ¬ One slot
- Published
The 91Èȱ¬ has announced its award-winning podcast, Brexitcast, is to make its TV debut in September.
The podcast, hosted by political editor Laura Kuenssberg, Europe editor Katya Adler, and correspondents Adam Fleming and Chris Mason, will be shown on 91Èȱ¬ One, late on Thursday nights.
It's the first 91Èȱ¬ podcast to be commissioned as a 91Èȱ¬ television programme.
"Who says no one's interested in politics?!" said Kuenssberg.
She added: "Brexitcast has grown and grown because our audience loves and deserves detailed explanations of enormous events, but likes a bit of devilment too.
The journalist added it was an "absolute thrill to bring the show to 91Èȱ¬ One, and a privilege to invite the legendary and committed This Week audience to join us, following on from Andrew [Neil], the supreme late night host".
According to the 91Èȱ¬, the new show "will remain true to its format of delivering geeky and cheeky insights into the complicated world of Brexit from Westminster and Brussels".
The podcast was honoured with a Listeners' Choice award at the British Podcast Awards recently and will still be available to download on 91Èȱ¬ Sounds as a weekly episode.
Brexitcast's editor Dino Sofos added: "Our nerdy podcast has been on an incredible journey but we never thought that 91Èȱ¬ One would come knocking! We're over the moon that a bigger audience will now be able to find out about Adam's Brexit binders.
"Crucially though, making a TV version of the podcast doesn't mean the format will change… after all, Brexitcast means Brexitcast."
A 91Èȱ¬ spokesperson confirmed the format would remain unchanged with Thursday's 91Èȱ¬ One episode available to download on 91Èȱ¬ Sounds.
