Building on the success of Newsjack, DMs Are Open provides opportunities for up-and-coming writers and performers to break into the industry, for example with a voice notes section of the show hearing directly from the public themselves.

While the first series was topical, the second series follows a non-topical format and and will be recorded in front of an audience.
