FYI, A Broadsheet Podcast

FYI is a podcast about the stories we reckon deserve a closer look.

Some stories just hook you. You know the ones – when you can’t get a particular detail out of your head, and suddenly you find yourself yakking about it to anyone who’ll listen.

This happens a fair bit at Broadsheet. A lot of stories cross the news desk, but we don’t always have the time to explore them in as much depth as we’d like. That’s why we’re launching our very first podcast, FYI. It’s all about the stories we reckon deserve a closer look.

The show is hosted by Broadsheet’s editorial director Katya Wachtel, and features a different reporter each week. New episodes drop every Tuesday.

Find FYI on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and all good podcast players. Got questions, feedback or a pitch? We’d love to hear from you.
