After three decades anchoring Channel 4 News, the formality is gone and Jon Snow is finding his way in the world of podcasting with endearing hesitancy. The first in his new interview series sees him meet Jon Ronson, confess his nerves and even ask his guest if you’re allowed to swear in a podcast. “I’ve been part of a regulated broadcaster for 50 years!” he exclaims on discovering you can. “I can’t manage!” Very charming.
