Why should you have to pay for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ?
Amol and Nick speak to former Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ chairman, Richard Sharp about whether the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ will exist in the future.
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ director general Tim Davie has outlined his vision for the future of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ. He fired the starting gun on a consultation on the future of the licence fee and spoke of how the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ could increase its revenue through adverts. So this week Amol and Nick ask, why should you have to pay for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ?
They speak to Richard Sharp, the former chairman of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, in his first interview with the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ since leaving the corporation.
Youtuber and comedian, Max Fosh, explains why younger people are choosing to bypass the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and publish their content direct on platforms like YouTube and TikTok.
Plus historian and host of the You're Dead To Me podcast, Greg Jenner, drops in to give his moment of the week.
