| 7/22/26 | Iain Dale: Life, the BBC and Ann Widdecombe | Iain Dale is one of Britain’s most familiar political voices – LBC presenter, publisher, columnist, and lifelong conservative – and now the author of a strikingly candid memoir, Have I Said Too Much? We discuss his journey from an Essex farm to the heart of Westminster media, his complicated relationship with the Conservative Party, and why he believes the BBC has lost its way without losing its importance.We explore how talk radio has reshaped his politics, the tension between intelligent debate and 'rows for clicks', his unlikely friendship with Ann Widdecombe, and the personal cost of being so open on air and in print. It's a conversation about ambition, loyalty and influence.To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership @beebwatch.bsky.social@BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

| 1/29/26 | Rob Crilly, ex-US Chief Correspondent at the Daily Telegraph, on Trump’s First Year, the Media War, and a Pivotal Weekend in Minnesota | Rob Crilly, former Chief US Correspondent for the Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail Online, now author of the “Washington Secrets” newsletter at the Washington Examiner, joins us again one year on to assess Donald Trump’s first year in office. We talk about covering a president who sets the agenda via late-night tweets, how the White House manages access and mixes up the briefing room, and what it means for organisations such as the BBC to face a billion‑dollar lawsuit and accusations of “fake news”.We explore Trump’s impact on legacy and public service media (from the BBC to NPR, PBS and Voice of America), the strategy of aggressive denial and attack, the use of leaks and loyalty tests inside the administration, and the growing business and political pressures on newsrooms from CBS to the Washington Post. We also examine Trump’s personal enrichment and conflicts of interest, whether American democracy and its institutions are strong enough to withstand him, and why Rob believes last weekend’s events in Minnesota could prove a pivotal moment in his presidency.Listen to all our episodes here: https://podfollow.com/beebwatch To support our journalism and receive a weekly blog sign up now for £1.99 per month www.patreon.com/BeebWatch/membership @beebwatch.bsky.social@BeebRogerInstagram: rogerboltonsbeebwatchLinkedIn: Roger Bolton's Beeb Watchemail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

| 1/22/26 | Prof Lee Edwards on BBC Charter Review – A Missed Opportunity? | Lee Edwards, Professor of Strategic Communications and Public Engagement at the London School of Economics, and Chair of the Media Reform Coalition, discusses in detail the government’s green paper on the BBC’s future: the consultation process and timetable; proposed changes to BBC funding—including the possibility of a household levy; principles of universality and public service; and questions about government involvement in BBC governance.We also examine the balance between public purpose and commercial pressures, the BBC’s role in local media, ideas for public engagement and accountability, and consider the funding of the BBC World Service. There is also practical advice on how listeners can respond to the consultation and join the wider debate. The problem is the lack of funding. That does not have to be resolved by advertising or subscription. The lack of funding is about the British government and public’s willingness to buy into and support a substantial public service media organisation.
