Summary

On Ep.212: Ex-Met Police Officer spills tea, media reform, seven music industry predictions and another old BBC show ahead of its time.

Episode Description

In a week where:

New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern announces her resignation.
The BBC will keep black local radio stations, after u-turning on consultation proposals to axe the programmes from on-air schedules.
Sajid Javid calls for patients to pay for GP and A&E visits.
Happy Lunar New Year.
The Doomsday Clock is moved to 90 seconds to midnight.

In Society: (9:03) The police - specifically the Metropolitan Police - is back in the limelight after last week's David Carrick news. But of course, this isn't "One Bad Apple" as one ex-Met officer dishes.

In Media: (22:57) British media is garbage, plain and simple. Reform is desperately needed. But will it ever happen? If so, what's the roadmap towards a better media?

In Music: (42:02) The music industry is horrible in so many ways - but as with most industries - they eventually evolve. So what can the music industry do this year to evolve?

Lastly, in TV: (55:02) Now and again, I'm discovering about shows from the past that would be great if made now. And now I'm discovering a show in the 70s called "Open Door" where regular people hosted it to voice their issues.

Thank you for listening! If you want to contribute to the show, whether it be sending me questions or voicing your opinion in any way, peep the contact links below and I'll respond accordingly. Let me know "What's Good?"
