  • Deep-Dive Analysis: Expert breakdowns of the week’s biggest media stories.

  • Industry Insiders: Stuart is joined by a rotating cast of journalists, editors, and media experts.

  • Political Pulse: Examining the complex relationship between the press and the corridors of power.

If you’re tired of surface-level takes and want a sophisticated, often provocative look at the industry, Talk Media is your weekly briefing.

Whether you’re a media professional, a student, or simply a news junkie, Stuart Cosgrove and his guests ensure that you’re always ahead of the curve.
