Tortoise will be producing Andrew Neil’s first podcast series The Backstory, which is due to launch this spring.
Andrew will deploy his unparalleled interviewing skills in a series of probing conversations with leading figures from politics, business, entertainment and academia to explore what is driving events at home and abroad.
Andrew Neil commented: “This new series is about giving people the time and space to explain their ideas, decisions and beliefs.
“It’s going to be fascinating and I can’t wait to get started.”
James Harding, Co-founder of Tortoise added: “The Backstory puts Britain’s most forensic interviewer in the room each week with one of the world’s most influential and interesting people to understand what’s really happening – and why? Listen out – it’s going to be lively.”
The series will launch later this Spring and will be produced by Lewis Vickers, Executive Producer at Tortoise Media.
