You go through at the guardian with your podcast to make sure that youre both fair, but also that you dont dodge "calling something," to use jons phrase? well, for us, this is slightly different, and our podcast. is slightly different _ in the sense that when we dont have a panel of such of people that are debating an issue - and we have to... "call them out" on one thing or the other. - its its more narrative. so the news podcast - that we make is just telling the story of a single issue in a d...

Theres less... well, there is, like, _ calling people out on their facts and stuff, but there isnt... impartiality, i mean, - we have guardianjournalists on the show showcasing their work, so thats not an issue. _ and so thats how you do it at the guardian. deano, you said in one recent interview that youd be much more comfortable saying the word "liar" in your new podcast than you would have been able to at the bbc. but thats a difficult word to use, isnt it, because you need to know someones m...
