NEXT week, our editor will be a guest reviewer at the Edinburgh Festival. It is part of a collaboration between The Edinburgh Reporter and a number of newspapers.

Although this interview is for a national audience, we did ask a few Harlow-centred questions.

In the last full year before the general election, the legendary show returns with all the latest political dramas, characters, questions and unreliable predictions.

Can Starmer win? Has Sunak a path to victory? Has the SNP peaked? Can Brexit ever be done?

Let’s try to make sense of it all and enjoy ourselves in the era of volcanic politics. There’ll be a different show every day.

The Edinburgh Reporter caught up with Steve Richards to talk about the success of the shows and the podcast and what subjects he hopes will come up.

It is clear that he wants to long form type of political debate to survive and thrive. Sometimes, politics news items are restricted to more than a few soundbites.

The success of hour long live shows and podcasts illustrates that there is a market/appetite.

Our interview with Steve Richards and all the details of his show is below.
