Podcast 27: Achieving liftoff with a launch, with Punchbowl News chief executive Anna Palmer

Punchbowl News was founded by Palmer and two other former Politico journalists in January 2021.

The 27th episode of Press Gazette’s Future of Media Explained podcast features an interview with Anna Palmer, the chief executive of Punchbowl News.

Founded by three former Politico journalists in January 2021, Punchbowl has established itself as must-read political outlet in Washington, DC.
