Our podcasts

Institute for Government podcasts take you behind the scenes in Westminster and beyond to hear expert analysis, informed debate, and fascinating discussions on the latest events in politics and government.

Each week Inside Briefing, the IfG’s flagship podcast, welcomes special guests for a free-ranging conversation on the latest political news, what makes government work – and how to fix it when it doesn’t.

From revealing what it takes to be a minister to telling the inside story of how to prepare for being in power, the people who have worked at the heart of government and opposition join us on INSIDE BRIEFING EXTRA – which is published on the Inside Briefing podcast feed – for our series special IfG podcast episodes.

The Expert Factor is the IfG’s joint podcast with the Institute for Fiscal Studies and UK in a Changing Europe. Join Hannah White, the IFS’s Paul Johnson and UKICE’s Anand Menon for deep dives into the big questions facing government and politicians as a general election approaches.

On our IfG EVENTS podcast feed you can listen to the best of the keynote speeches, in conversation events and panel discussions held at the IfG.
