What's Behind the News, A Podcast Launch with James Kanter
Europe’s news is loud and moving fast. What’s Behind the News keeps up and cuts through the noise.
Join us for the live debut of the show bringing Europe's most consequential stories to life - on the record, in the room, in front of you.
Hosted by veteran Brussels journalist James Kanter, each episode brings together a rotating cast of fellow reporters and analysts to break through the clutter: eu power plays, the fault lines, the stories that shaped the week and the ones that slipped past the front page. Unscripted. Unfiltered. Live in front of you.
This is journalism doing what it's supposed to do: telling it as it is. And this is a live show for people who want to know what's really going on behind and beyond the headlines.
This first recording is where it all begins. Come join us and dig into the stories defining Europe right now.
