Klopp’s reveal, vaping PR and Barbie’s disappointment
About this episode
David Yelland and Simon Lewis enter into the secret world of secrets and discuss how it is still possible to keep big news under wraps – how Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp kept his departure from Anfield out of the press with the help of his "inner doughnut".
As the UK government moves to ban disposable e-cigarettes, David and Simon look at how PR has helped the vaping market capture Britain.
And following the controversy surrounding Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie failing to win Oscar nominations for best director and best actress respectively, how do you deal with bad news in the public glare?
