Documentary legend Norma Percy makes her podcasting debut to talk about her latest project Brexit: A Very British Civil War, as well as sharing her interview tips and explaining more about her Grierson Trust fund to support factual filmmakers.
Later in the show, we share the highlights from a webinar run by Broadcast's sister platform Broadcast Intelligence, in which Channel 4's head of news and current affairs Louisa Compton, and Hardcash Productions' creative director Esella Hawkey chat to BI editor Alice Redman about working on the 2023 Dispatches exposé Russell Brand: In Plain Sight and why current affairs content should be more fun.
And in the news round-up, BBC correspondent Ellie Kahn joins this week's hosts Rebecca Cooney and John Elmes to discuss the appointment of Rhodri Talfan Davies as the corporation's deputy director general.
