Belling to expand LiSTNR’s investigative offerings
Beyond hosting The Briefing – Afternoon Edition, Belling will also collaborate with the LiSTNR Factual team to develop in-depth investigative podcast series, leveraging her 30-year journalism career across television, radio, and podcasting.
LiSTNR’s head of factual, Clair Weaver, said, “We are excited to welcome Natarsha to the team. The Briefing goes beyond just headlines; it’s an in-depth exploration of the news with explainers, analysis, and expert guests. Tarsh is renowned for delivering this kind of trusted content.”
