Sham Experts, Luxury Podcasts and Radio 2 vs Ofcom
Maggie Brown, Alex Zane, Phil Riley and Dino Sofos all join Matt Deegan
When you see commentators on articles are they real? Or are they just after an SEO boost? Our podcast guests, media commentator Maggie Brown and broadcaster Alex Zane dive into a Press Gazette report.
Meanwhile, Ofcom is minded to veto Radio 2 Extra, subject to a public consultation. They cite Boom Radio as one of the reasons. We get their CEO Phil Riley to tell us why he thinks Ofcom’s got it right.
Also on the show, Persephonica CEO Dino Sofos drops by to explain why his podcast festival Crossed Wires has recruited Radio 1 DJ Greg James to be the event’s Creative Director and Alex tell us why doing a podcast at The Savoy with Laurent Perrier champagne and some of the biggest celebrities in the world isn’t a bad job. We offered him a cuppa.
