True London – Details, episodes & analysis
Podcast details
Technical and general information from the podcast's RSS feed.
The UK capital is routinely and sometimes mischievously misrepresented and misunderstood. This is bad for the city and for the country, which depends heavily on London's economy, its international character and its global prestige - even though it often fails to recognise this or admit it.
The True London podcast series is dedicated to covering London's politics, places and people accurately and fairly with a view to challenging false narratives about the city - and hopefully entertains along the way.
It augments and complements the output of the journalism website OnLondon.co.uk and the personal Substack of Dave Hill, who edits and publishes On London and presents True London.

Jenevieve Treadwell on the Green Party's prospects
Season 1 · Episode 3
dimanche 7 septembre 2025 • Duration 13:45
The Green Party's new national leader is a confident, charismatic, self-styled "eco populist" who has a seat on the London Assembly. Will his elevation help his party's electoral prospects n the capital or hinder them?
An LSE Policy Fellow and expert number cruncher, Jenevieve Treadwell looks at the challenges the party faces with holding its broad electoral coalition together and making it bigger. Green supporters in Lambeth and Hackney might be enthused by Polanski's radicalism. But what about those in Richmond?

Transport hot topics with Elly Baker AM
Season 1 · Episode 2
mercredi 3 septembre 2025 • Duration 23:28
As well as being a Labour AM, Elly Baker is the current chair of the London Assembly's transport committee. In this podcast she talks about the decline of London's bus service, antisocial cycling and the transport committee's recent intervention over fare dodging - an issue that has been exploited by right-wing politicians as part of a larger negative narrative about the capital. And with London Underground strikes imminent, she draws on her experience working for trade unions to offer some thoughts about relations between the Tube unions and management.

Does Labour care about London?
Season 1 · Episode 6
lundi 20 octobre 2025 • Duration 19:31
Despite its numerous problems in government, Labour remains the most popular party in London. But is it taking the capital for granted? Is it even joining in with anti-London populism in order to win favour elsewhere in the country? And is it going to regret it?
The brilliant Christabel, director of research at Labour Together, has answers to all of those questions.
She also writes for OnLondon.co.uk.
