Reported at www.theguardian.com: Opposition leader Peter Dutton has turned to podcasting as a strategy to engage with younger voters, rarely participating in one-on-one interviews elsewhere.

He recently appeared on the “Diving Deep” podcast with social media influencer Sam Fricker, discussing personal topics and policy issues, but faced minimal challenge on details.

Political strategists recognize that platforms like podcasts can effectively reach disengaged audiences, as demonstrated by high-profile American politicians leveraging similar venues for exposure.
