40 min • 20 juni 2025

Kate Philips is announced as the BBC’s all-powerful creative lead - Faraz Osman, founder of TV indie Gold Wala, takes a look at her in-tray.


Also on the show: TV advertising gets the self-service treatment... Rebecca Cooney, insight editor at Broadcast, tells us why broadcasters are targeting small businesses.


Plus, speaking of advertising: with the threat of AI ever present, how do creatives rate their chances of survival? Campaign’s UK editor Maisie McCabe is down the line from Cannes.


And, in the Audio Network Media Quiz, we give three more stories a comedy treatment.
