Description by The News Meeting

The News Meeting is a lively, informative and occasionally competitive podcast about what should lead the news and why. Twice a week three journalists compete to convince Tortoise editor James Harding that they've got the top story. James has been editor of The Times newspaper and director of BBC News, which is why it's his job to decide what matters most.


Episodes are released every Monday afternoon and Friday morning.
