Bill, Nick and Rob each bring three predictions for the year ahead across news, media, politics and culture - and they range from the vaguely plausible to the gloriously unhinged.Expect bold calls, wilful speculation, media trends taken to their illogical conclusion, and a healthy dose of self-awareness that most of this will age terribly. From the future of journalism and political chaos to cultural moments that definitely won’t pan out as expected, the trio embrace the joy of being confidently wrong.It’s irreverent, slightly cynical, occasionally insightful, and very much not investment advice.
