FASCINATING to see @PrivateEyeNews podcast Page 94, a show I have made for almost ten years now, is suddenly #2 on @ApplePodcasts. I say suddenly, but there's been lots of changes over the past few months which are all slowly paying off

Wanted to have a memorable election night - so kudos to @SamBonham for putting on a fantastic show at the BBC. Amazing that the Newscast team have wrangled this together.

Please Read. I’m working on a follow up to my report with the Lenny Henry Centre For Media Diversity on diversity in post production sound and looking to interview people, especially men, from underrepresented groups at any stage of their career working in UK ONLY post production sound across any genre. Roles such as Re-Recording/ Dubbing mixer, Sound Effects Editors, Dialogue editors etc. This aspect of the research is to explore the barriers people from diverse backgrounds experience within the UK TV industry. A principle of anonymity will be applied. Your identity will not be revealed. Please consider taking part to help shape our sector. email me at diversityinsound@gmail.com My previous report can be found here to understand how the interviews will be used. Please share emmabuttsound.com/diversity

Episode 2 of our Page 94 mini-series, interviewing the investigative reporters shortlisted for this year's Paul Foot award. They're all amazing stories; this one in particular is enraging. Well worth a listen.
Justine Smith's FoI-led investigation put the plight of vulnerable children right in front of MPs in parliament's trade magazine. 🎧 Listen to the full interview with Justine on today’s episode of the Page 94 podcast. In feeds now. pod.fo/e/244456 #PaulFootAward2024

HOT news. By far the greatest movie villain this country has produced.

What seems a lifetime ago, I met Della, whose son died in the Infected Blood scandal. It made me angry then and it still does now. If you want to find out why it still matters, take a listen to Della’s story open.spotify.com/episode/1Ud…

And… it skews what the BBC will make to be more commercial and less public service. Both sectors suffer.
A lot of company logos on this letter. I hope it has an impact. I've worked really hard for 17 years to contribute to the UK's independent podcast sector becoming a legitimate commercial entity. If the BBC start taking ads in the UK, they will be eating our lunch. I say this as someone who adores public service programming. I have sometimes worked for the BBC for less than half my commercial salary, because I believe in it. I also think for audiences, some ads on Beeb content (outside Sounds) would be easily accepted - it's theoretically no different to ads against BBC shows on Dave or Gold. But, for my sector it would be devastating. Put simply, why would you advertise on my shows when you could advertise on Desert Island Discs? That's a distortion of a burgeoning creative industry.

Absolute joy to be there last night and Andy’s new book is a belter. Halfway through and it’s a real thrill ride.
Here’s @andrewhunterm launching his new book, A BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO BREAKING AND ENTERING, out next week. He had me at “crime caper / satire on the London property market”.
