Background Briefing Podcast

Background Briefing Podcast




Background Briefing is Radio National's agenda-setting current affairs radio documentary program. It varies from week to week in style and content, sometimes doing straight investigative journalism, sometimes exploring important ideas or social issues in on-the-road documentary style. You will find profiles of politicians, analysis of behind-the-scenes issues that shape society, and sometimes an exploration of an idea – or perhaps a murder.

Many Background Briefing program makers are senior journalists, several of whom have won major awards. Many others come through the unit to make just one or two programs.
