The Week launches weekly podcast The Week unwrapped
The Week, Dennis’s current affairs brand, has launched a brand new current affairs podcast: The Week Unwrapped, presented by Olly Mann.
Each week, the radio presenter joins The Week’s expert editorial team to delve into the most important stories from the past seven days – but not necessarily the ones that have been grabbing all the headlines.
A familiar voice to podcast fans in the UK and beyond, Mann created Answer Me This with Helen Zaltzman a decade ago and has since launched The Modern Mann and The Media Podcast. He has also presented documentaries for BBC Radio 4.
Mann said of joining the show: “I’m a huge fan of podcasting and it’s been really exciting to see the boom in storytelling,” he says. “But most of the podcasts I really enjoy listening to are of the sort where there’s three people sitting around talking about stuff.”
Holden Frith, Editor of TheWeek.co.uk, and regular guest on The Week Unwrapped said: “The Week is in an unrivalled position to survey the current affairs landscape, and the podcast allows us to chew over stories in a more informal way.”
“There’s very little of the partisan posturing you get on other news discussions,” Frith says. “What you get instead is an informed, free-ranging conversation between The Week’s writers and editors – and of course Olly Mann keeping us all in order.”
Already a fan of The Week, Mann was keen to join the team and broaden his experience of current affairs broadcasting.
