Al and Li

The number of middle-aged male duos now out on donkeys prospecting for podcast gold has increased exponentially since potential monthly payments of £70k were adumbrated in August. 

The big earners are said to be Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell with The Rest Is Politics and Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook with The Rest Is History. 

Last month, Dino Sofos, ex-Brexitcast, now independent, launched George Osborne and Ed Balls into 'Political Currency'; From the BBC we've had former Sun editor David Yelland and spin doctor Simon Lewis with 'When It Hits The Fan' and Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson about to start The Today Podcast. This morning, from Prospect Magazine, we have former Guardian editor Alan Rusbridger joining former FT editor Lionel Barber launching a weekly series, Media Confidential.
