It's October and that means radio killing season is underway. It's that special time of the year where radio stations and TV channels decide what their next year will look like and make sudden and sometimes shocking changes to their hosting line ups. We've already seen a few quick dispatches this killing season and it's likely to heat up over the next fortnight. Former KIIS FM Nights host Mitch Churi was one of the victims last year and he joins us to discuss the scariest time of year for radio hosts.
Netflix and Spotify have signed a deal this week bringing video podcasts into the stable of the streaming giant. Is video about to kill the podcasting star?
Teens and tech titans are all busy at the moment looking for ways around the impending social media age restrictions. Does the big shift towards age restriction online in December have a chance of working as intended?
Guest: Mitch Churi, Host of The Mitch Churi Chat Show and former KIIS FM radio host
