Goalhanger x Peopleâs Postcode Lottery: Making the âBiggest Everâ a Multi-Platform Mo
The UK network behind the chart-topping âThe Rest IsâŚâ podcasts - has partnered with Peopleâs Postcode Lottery to support the launch of its biggest ever December draw: a record-breaking ÂŁ38.2 million prize pot. The brief was clear: drive awareness and sign-ups ahead of the 30 November deadline, while spotlighting both the scale of the prize and PPLâs charitable impact, with 30% of every ticket going to good causes and players having raised over ÂŁ1.5 billion to date.
To bring the campaign to life, Goalhanger built on PPLâs simple but powerful creative idea: âthe biggest ever.â The campaign then ran across the network - from entertainment and sport to history and politics - giving audiences a culturally relevant reason to engage with the Lottery.

The Europeans Ask âWho Does It Best?â
The Europeans released the first two episodes of a miniseries funded entirely by listener donationsâ the first time the podcast has funded its award-winning narrative journalism this way in its eight-year history. The cross-border team of reporters has been on a months-long hunt for
Europeâs best housing, childcare, and drug policies, seeking out the places where public policies are actually working.
The miniseries is the podcastâs latest departure from its standard weekly format, following on the heels of its other critically acclaimed miniseries, which include The Oatly Chronicles, the award-winning This Is What a Generation Sounds Like, and Bursting the Bubble.
