**SURVEY TIME** We need more info on our listeners and viewers to help improve the show. It takes 2mins and one lucky applicant will win a £50 John Lewis voucher. Take part as you listen...


When the ad money leaves, what do you do to keep your publication going? Tag Warner, CEO of the Gay Times, joins us to discuss their adventures in a readership share scheme.


Partly fuelling that is Google’s AI Overview: Charlotte Tobitt of Press Gazette takes us through the legal challenge publishers have just launched.


All that plus: Gregg Wallace isn’t giving up without a fight, are we heading for a world with just two public service broadcasters? And, in the Audio Network Media Quiz, Matt consults the Club’s crystal ball.


The Media Quiz is sponsored by Audio Network who select the music to score each episode - they can do it for you too at audionetwork.com
