Barber, once in charge of the Financial Times, and Rusbridger, former Guardian chief, deliver candid interviews and deep-dive conversations that are both revealing and thought-provoking. What sets this podcast apart is its authority—this duo has been in the trenches, and they share their unique insights with a healthy dose of realism. Media Confidential is a news commentary podcast by Prospect Magazine.
