About this episode

The episode discusses the role of the BBC in the modern era and addresses various current issues including GB News and the government's economic policy.

The BBC has a new director general, but is he or his army of senior managers - conveniently detached from direct responsibility for the output - capable of answering a key question: What is the role of a publicly-funded broadcaster in the modern era? Plus, brilliant questions on GB News, the energy crisis and the government’s economic policy - is there a hidden agenda? The next Rock & Roll Politics live show will be at the Cambridge Literary Festival on Saturday April 25th . And you can get your tickets for Rock & Roll Politics -The Election Special at Kings Place in London on Monday May 11th here .
