Channel 4's Drama Slate, Netflix Pivot to Podcasts and AI News Can't Summarise

Lisa Campbell and Boyd Hilton Join Matt Deegan

On The Media Club podcast this week…

Channel 4’s revealed its new drama slate, Heat Magazine’s Boyd Hilton runs us through what’s new and what’s returning.

The BBC has been testing a load of AI chatbots to see how it does with its news content. Turns out, not very well, with only 50% accuracy! ITN’s Lisa Campbell, currently on secondment to run the Creative Cities Convention, tells us more about the experiment plus we hear what she’s planning in Bradford.

Apparently Netflix is getting into video podcasts, we all discuss whether that’s good for podcasting and what it means for TV production.
