A load of publicity for not much in return and i wonder if it'll happen at all bearing in mind their cost-cutting driveNot sure I get this. Cleese signed to do a one off series on GB News and he did a one off series on GB News. It took a while to happen but it happened and many would argue it’s the best programme they’ve done. Production wise it was clearly more than an afterthought or just him doing an hour of a normal GBN show.
I do wonder if it’s been a mistake for GB News not to have invested more heavily in podcasts. I know they have that Christopher Hope one and had a few half hearted attempts in the past including uploading every programme as a podcast.
With increased investment and presumbly success the likes of Global and Goal Hanger have had with podcasts and long form content, it makes you wonder if GBN have missed the boat. They might have been less advertiser friendly right leaning content, but there’s obviously an audience for it and would helped supplement its linear offering.
