Never before heard conversations with Richard Osman, Hans Zimmer, and Hugh Bonneville. In this special edition of Newscast, we bring you the interviews that had to be left in storage when major news events took over.
Adam talks to gameshow host and Thursday Murder Club author Richard Osman about how he writes the books, and why he chose detectives in their 70s as his main characters.
We hear from the man who wrote the music for some of the biggest films ever, Hans Zimmer. He speaks about working on The Lion King, Top Gun, and Frozen Planet II with Sir David Attenborough and Camila Cabello.
And Downton Abbey, W1A, and Paddington actor, Hugh Bonneville, talks about how he got into the profession.
This episode of Newscast is presented by Adam Fleming. It was made by Chris Flynn with Danny Wittenberg, Miranda Slade, and Ivana Davidovic. The studio manager was Emma Crowe. The assistant editor was Sam Bonham.

After 12 months that saw war in Ukraine, three prime ministers in Number 10, the end of the second Elizabethan era and the Lionesses bringing football home, Radio 4 asked us to look back at some of the most memorable stories. And, of course, we thought we’d share that with you too.

Today’s Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg and Arlene Gregorius with Matt Toulson. The technical producer was Mike Regaard and the assistant editor was Sam Bonham.

Reliving the first live Castfest from the BBC Radio Theatre. On 18th October 2022, Newscast and all of our sister podcasts came together in front of a studio audience to mark 100 years of the BBC. For the first time, and for our final episode of this year, here are some highlights from the event, which was hosted by Adam and Ukrainecast’s Victoria Derbyshire. As you’ll hear, it came at a key time in 2022: in the run-up to the US mid-term elections, at a potential turning point in the war in Ukraine, and shortly before the demise of Liz Truss. Remember her? Today’s Newscast was made by Daniel Wittenberg and Ivana Davidovic. The technical producer was Hannah Montgomery. The assistant editor was Sam Bonham.
