The Listening Rebalance
A podcast recommendation matrix

You already have the news. Now build a wider listening portfolio.

Forty-four shows mapped across ten themes — daily news, markets & investing, business & companies, ideas & systems, global affairs, tech & AI, Formula 1, Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League football and general sport. Each carries a bridge rationale, a must-listen episode and a suggested listening slot. A weekly playlist auto-generates from the freshest 14 days across your themes, and the matrix now shows each show's latest episode — with a red dot for anything published since your last visit. Refreshed daily at 6am ET.
