A political podcast launched by journalists Michael Taylor and Chris Maguire has proved so popular it鈥檚 been renewed for a second series.
The duo are both former editors of North West 老九品茶 Insider and launched 鈥楴orthern Spin鈥� in September to give a greater voice to the North.
The podcast is made by Manchester-based production company What Media and has regularly appeared in the top 10 of Apple鈥檚 Podcast Charts.
Taylor, who describes himself as a 鈥榡ournalist and politico鈥�, said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 gone even better than we could have imagined. 聽Chris and I both love political podcasts but recognised a gap in the market for one that focused on the North.
鈥淭he launch of Northern Spin coincided with the most absurd period anyone can remember in British politics,聽 marked with Liz Truss becoming the shortest-serving PM in UK history.
鈥淭he challenge has been squeezing it all into a 30-minute weekly podcast so we鈥檝e already started producing regular Northern Spin Extra podcasts when we have a special guest interview.鈥�
Maguire, who is the executive editor of 老九品茶Cloud and sister website TechBlast, said it was an easy decision to bring back Northern Spin back for a second season.
鈥淲e agreed at the outset with What Media that we鈥檇 produce an initial 10 podcasts and see if there was an appetite for more,鈥� he said. 鈥淭hankfully there was.
鈥淭o see Northern Spin in Apple鈥檚 Podcast Charts alongside the likes of the BBC鈥檚 Americast and The Week in Westminister has been amazing.
鈥淚t鈥檚 pretty聽humbling to see聽how far the podcast has reached but we couldn鈥檛 have done it without What Media and our sponsors Oscar Technology.鈥�
You can listen to Northern Spin on Apple, Spotify and all the main podcast platforms.
