‘Heavyweight,’ an Acclaimed Narrative Podcast, Returns

Pushkin Industries, the podcast company that will release the show, is betting that documentary-style audio programs can still win an audience.

Back in 2018, when we were making No Feeling Is Final, we didn't dare dream that people would still be listening to/talking about the show SEVEN YEARS later. But I'm so glad they are. I'm so proud of this show, and what it means to people. And this article from @bencannon.bsky.social really gets it.

Another month, another entry into the Podcast Canon over on @avclub.com! Since it’s Sundance season, I’m examining two artistically daring and important podcasts, and talking about Third Coast and Short Cuts as well. www.avclub.com/podcast-cano...

All good things must come to an end – but this seems wrong. A brilliant repository of strange, funny, beautiful, arcane stories, Short Cuts has always been truly inventive, a place for audio experimentation and new voices (a rarity on R4) and an absolute balm for listeners. I hope it finds a home.

After 12 years on the radio, @josielong.bsky.social's Short Cuts will have its last series on BBC Radio 4 this winter. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Against a backdrop of a forest carpeted with bluebells, a block of text reads, “After 12 years on the radio, we’re sad to share the news that BBC Radio 4 has chosen to end Short Cuts. 

The episode on 7th January 2025 will be our last on their airwaves.

We are proud of this audio garden, and what has grown here over the years.”

This is absolutely heartbreaking news. I — like so, so many producers — would not have my start in audio without Short Cuts. It's a rare gem and the perfect home for documentaries, essays, experimentation and audio art. Shows like Short Cuts should be celebrated and protected.
