The one-person production unit drove a 68% increase in TikTok followers in one month, while June recorded the platform’s highest-ever views and engagement since launch. On Instagram, the account more than doubled its follower base. Despite producing less than half the usual number of posts, the unit generated 74% of the reach achieved by the regular team, whose content mainly repurposed podcast episodes.

Carousels, graphics and Reels tying episodes to the news, made by the in-house editor I trained. Everything from Instagram is held on this site — every slide of every album, and the video itself — so a post taken down at source still plays here. TikTok and YouTube serve no file to a logged-out reader, so those keep the cover and open at source. Figures are exactly what each platform publishes and are never mixed between them.
