Mediaite, Culture Trip Launch New Podcasts

Mediaite and Culture Tripboth announced new podcast series, which debut this week.

Mediaite’s politics-focused show “The Interview” launches tomorrow, with a new episode appearing every Thursday. In each episode, Mediate EIC-host Aidan McLaughlin will speak with notables across journalism, cable news, politics and media.

“The Interview” will explore and discuss the top news of the week, dissecting what goes on behind the headlines.

McLaughlin’s first guest is Tucker Carlson. CNN’s Don Lemon joins for episode two.

“I’ve spent much of my time, as editor of Mediaite, interviewing the top journalists and broadcasters in news for publication on our site,” stated McLaughlin. “I’m excited, if a bit terrified, to have those conversations recorded and released to the general public. I’m betting the specific and unique nature of Mediaite’s beat will draw out fascinating conversations with the people driving the news cycle in the run up to the election.”
