Matt Chorley to launch urgent political podcast for 5 Live

BBC Radio 5 Live is launching a new weekday politics podcast hosted by broadcaster and political journalist Matt Chorley.
Matt Chorley’s Urgent Questions starts on 10 November and will feature 25 minutes of sharp political insight and analysis drawn from Matt’s weekday 5 Live show, which airs from 2pm to 4pm.
Launching ahead of the Autumn Budget, the podcast will deliver highlights, big interviews and commentary designed to help listeners make sense of the fast-moving political landscape.
Since joining 5 Live last year, Matt has interviewed key political figures including Keir Starmer, Boris Johnson and Kemi Badenoch. His new podcast aims to bring those conversations, along with his trademark humour, to a wider audience on demand.
Matt said: “Taking politics seriously doesn’t mean doing it boringly. The podcast will be packed with the best bits, the smartest bits, the funniest bits, and the bits that make you think ‘oh, so that’s why they do that’.”
Matt Chorley’s Urgent Questions will be available every weekday on BBC Sounds.
