Off the Telly

A feast for our ears: on the boom of media podcasts

Which are your go-to podcasts? The chances are that at least one is on media and entertainment. According to Ofcom’s latest survey, it is the number-one genre, at least for the under-50s, and the choice is ever widening.

In less than a year, The Rest Is Entertainment, Off the Telly and a new, hour-long version of Radio 4’s The Media Show have come along, plus several others, including Media ­Confidential, and When It Hits the Fan.
