What’s next for the BBC? A new director-general

About this episode

Alan and Janine discuss the potential candidates for the top job in British media—and there’s no shortage of suspects.


The pair break down the candidates’ CVs and even ring up one Lionel Barber on holiday to get his thoughts...


Plus, one listener asks who signs off on decisions like the one to edit the Trump speech that got BBC’s Panorama programme into such hot water. Where does an editor’s responsibility end?
