Donald Trump’s phone number is apparently not impossible to come by – but there’s also a strategy as to what time of day to call. Edward Luce of the Financial Times and Max Tani, media editor at Semafor, discuss tactics. Matt Brittin has been appointed as the BBC’s new Director General, following a long career at Google where he led operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Alex Farber, Media Correspondent at The Times, gives his assessment. A new BBC podcast, Everything is Fake (and Nobody Cares), addresses questions around misinformation and shifting audience trust in the world around us. Presenter Jamie Bartlett outlines the themes behind the project. Presenters: Ros Atkins and Katie Razzall Producer: Lucy Wai Assistant Producer: Emily Channon Researcher: Ruth Waites Technical Coordinator: Mark Dickins Sound: Sarah Kimberley
