We are joined this week by MMU journalism's Liz Hannaford to look at the latest Ofcom report into the BBC - and whether the Corporation risks becoming irrelevant to young people. We also look at issues around students registering to vote in the 12 December election, and forthcoming coverage of the campaign on thenorthernquota.org.
We also speak to Lucy Chesters of Ethos magazine, which covers what it calls innovative and progressive ways of doing business.
