Jimmy vs the Producers: How We Interviewed Andy Burnham at No.10 in 48 Hours

Jimmy vs the Producers: How We Interviewed Andy Burnham at No.10 in 48 Hours19 Aug29 min

What happens when Downing Street texts on a Sunday asking if you can interview the Prime Minister two days later?

In this special episode of Jimmy vs the Producers, Jimmy sits down with growth leads Aggie and Annabel, alongside producer Thuy, to unpack the whirlwind behind our Andy Burnham interview.

Aggie and Annabel ask Jimmy how the opportunity compared with interviewing Tony Blair and Keir Starmer, what went into preparing for the conversation in just 48 hours, and why this felt like an “Olympic medal moment” for the show.

Thuy then turns the tables on Jimmy to discuss how they first connected through LinkedIn, how a one-day-a-week university placement became a full-time producing role, and how relationships and social capital can compound into career-changing opportunities.

This episode is supported by LinkedIn.
