What next for the BBC?

The BBC has a new director general, but is he or his army of senior managers - conveniently detached from direct responsibility for the output - capable of answering a key question: What is the role of a publicly-funded broadcaster in the modern era? Plus, brilliant questions on GB News, the energy crisis and the government’s economic policy - is there a hidden agenda? The next Rock & Roll Politics live show will be at the Cambridge Literary Festival on Saturday April 25th . And you can get your tickets for Rock & Roll Politics -The Election Special at Kings Place in London on Monday May 11th here .
