The Rest Is Politics

The Rest Is Politics is one of the biggest podcasts in politics on both sides of the Atlantic. The UK version is presented by former Labour party communications director Alastair Campbell and former Conservative politician Rory Stewart. The Rest Is Politics US is hosted by BBC correspondent Katty Kay and financier and (very briefly) former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci. Fiona Douglas is a producer working mostly on TRIP US. Among the trade secrets she divulges are: * why are so many podcasts from Goalhanger called “The Rest Is…[something]” - and what might they have been called if history had been different? * the most valued skills required for anyone wanting to work in podcast production * the cliché might be that the target audience for The Rest Is Politics are “centrist dads” - but is that really true?
