Newscast

A daily news podcast produced by BBC News that provides in-depth analysis of the day’s most significant stories. Launched on February 6, 2020, it has evolved from its origins as Electioncast and Brexitcast, reflecting the changing political landscape in the UK, particularly following Brexit.

Adam goes for a run with the chancellor John Healey on the day before the budget. On a very wet morning in St James’ Park they discuss how the chancellor has been preparing for the budget. Plus, will today’s announcement of 5 ‘everyday fixes’ actually give some breathing room?

Then Adam races across London to join a host of Newscasters to run the final 5K of Adam’s 500K in Andy Burnhams’ 1st 100 days challenge. Adam and Chris reflect on what John Healey had to say and look ahead to what else we can expect from tomorrow’s budget.
