Whoop whoop - so exciting!
Earlier this year, I lost my beloved job at my beloved Observer when the Guardian, in its great wisdom, gave the newspaper away to a podcast company...who promptly sacked me. So, forgive my delight today, in being nominated for FIVE awards in the British Podcast Awards!! 1/

We’re sorry to share the news that our dad, Nick Hedges, died peacefully at home on Sunday, 8 June. He’ll be greatly missed and will live on in the memories of those who knew him and through his photography. Nick Hedges (1943-2025). https://t.co/1zQutKOqXN

This is a super new podcast, which tells the story of how Russian spies infiltrated the Conservative party. Their goal: to push Kremlin ideas and to cultivate right-wing Eurosceptic activists. Cast includes a bald embassy intelligence officer, Tory MPs, and a heroic whistleblower
NEW: Meet Sergei Cristo, a Russian-born Conservative party activist turned whistleblower. Ep 1 out today: A meeting at the Carlton Club. And the start of efforts to uncover the biggest Russian intelligence operation since the Cambridge Spy Ring. 1/ https://t.co/QPVPiMeuym

Fascinating one to work on - the government crackdown on protesters in Venezuela is shocking. @tomphillipsin shared some amazing recordings with us for the podcast and talked us through the story. With @SamiKent, @helenpidd, @RudiZygadlo and @courtneyyusuf
Venezuela and the president who won't admit defeat. Today's podcast, with @tomphillipsin, is a good 'un, about Nicolas Maduro's brutal crackdown after the contested elections there

One podcast for you: https://t.co/94rkaopo2W
@tomphillipsin speaks to @helenpidd about Venezuela and the president who refuses to concede defeat. With @RuthAbrahams5 and @RudiZygadlo. And, if we can say so ourselves, we think it's pretty good
