Beyond Today

Beyond Today is the daily podcast from Radio 4 that asks one big question about one big story in the news - and beyond. Tina Daheley, Matthew Price, and a team of curious producers search for answers that change the way we see the world. They speak to the BBC’s unrivalled global network of reporters, plus occasional special guests, to tell stories about identity, technology, and power - where it lies and how that is changing.

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT

I’m not able to access newspapers or news tv much anymore, and I’ve also been increasingly frustrated with the focus of a lot of news sources as they continue reporting on global issues. BEYOND TODAY is wonderful for me because they cover a variety of issues and bring a range of perspectives to the table and I get to learn very much about so many different topics. Tina and Matthew are great hosts and ask good questions and I love the personal approaches they have to a lot of the issues.

Great listen on long commutes

Fantastic. Easy to listen to while addressing the full spectrum of issues. As a long time listener of BBC’s The Inquiry and also NPR’s Planet Money and The Indicator, amongst others, this is right up there. Keep going, please.
