Today on Pod, Actually, we are joined by Giorgia, a visual artist and science communication manager from London. Giorgia talks to us about the podcast she listens to “almost religiously” every morning: Today In Focus from The Guardian.

For Giorgia, In Focus isn’t background noise. It’s ritual. It’s dog-walk companion. It’s commute soundtrack. It’s how she makes sense of a relentless news cycle without drowning in it.

Giorgia also shares how listening shapes conversations with her partner and friends — and why she’d notice if the show disappeared tomorrow.

It’s a thoughtful conversation about information, identity, and the small daily habits that quietly anchor us.

Giorgia's top five podcasts:

1. Today In Focus

2. The Moth

3. Where Should We Begin: Esther Perel

4. Desert Island Discs

5. The Life Scientific
