Pilot Season, Unedited's format showcase sees the launch of five new audio formats, featuring:
In Facts That Matter, academic, author and journalist Professor Gary Younge applies his inquisitive analysis to a controversial statistic and unpacks the facts with first-person witnesses. "Sometimes one fact can shift our understanding of how the world works and our place in it," says Younge. "But in this period of fake news and mass misinformation, it is not enough for reporters and academics to simply insist that facts matter. In this show, we take one mind-blowing fact and then show how and why it matters by relating it to real people's lives."
Pilot Season 2023 also includes:
Sneakerists, a new sub-culture format, is hosted by Joelah Noble (BBC Radio 1Xtra) and Ade Oladipo (DAZN & talkSPORT), who look through their guests' prized sport shoe collections.
Best Summer Ever is a self-told, sound design-rich format that reunites three friends to spill the beans on the good, the bad and the awkward from their memorable group holiday.
Released later in the pilot season:
The Last Set is a clever global interview format that previews a well-known DJ's final dream gig. It leverages the hyper-local celebrity status of DJs, artists and creators to drive audiences to music streaming platforms.
In The Values Compass, a podcast treatment of Mandeep Rai's New York Times bestseller, she will talk with figures including the Dalai Lama and Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados to distil the essential characteristics of their home countries. The pilot features CCN's political analyst, David Gergen.
Pilot Season 2023 will be available on all major podcast platforms starting March 13th and running until April 9th.

Gary Younge's Facts That Matter
Gary Younge's lyrical writing tackles issues such as urban housing inequality, food delivery "black sites," and a new wave of labour unions among sex workers on both sides of the Atlantic. Each episode is built on hard facts, likeable characters, and empathetic on-the-ground reporting.
In the 'Facts' pilot, he explains why there are more jobs in Indian restaurants in the UK than in shipbuilding, steel, and coal combined. How did we get here? He hears from the people at the heart of both sectors. Ellie Mae O'Hagan, who oversees the Center for Labour and Social Studies, joins him. Gary also gets a new point of view on how well strikes and other labour actions in the UK work.
Gary Younge hosts and writes this limited series of eight episodes per season.

Customer Reviews
A sneaker story for the books!
What a fun podcast! Very conversational, well produced and had me wanting to count all of my tennis shoes throughout life. Clever and who would’ve thought a couple of pairs of sneakers would lead to such great stories! Unedited has done it again! Very Well done! ✅💚
