In this episode of the Essex Business Podcast, amidst the festive aroma of mince pies and satsumas, we explore the significance of Christmas as the pivotal lifeline for the retail sector. The widespread belief suggests that the holiday season is a decisive make-or-break period for many businesses. However, we examine whether this notion still holds true, or if it has evolved into something of a myth. Reporter Chris Penhall talks to Sara Tupper, Chelmsford BID Manager, on how the city centre retail scene gears up to get tills ringing during the Christmas season, and Helen Wood, Manager at Colchester Waterstones looks at the importance of Christmas on the retail/hospitality sector. Plus, Laura Muncey, Senior Lecturer in Economics at Anglia Ruskin University, provides a broader economic context to the discussion, exploring how external factors such as inflation and global events may be influencing Christmas trading in Essex.

As the Hollywood writer's strike prepares to come to an end, another key part of the entertainment industry is weighing up industrial action.  Reality TV has become the default option for plugging programming gaps caused by strike action. Now cast and crew members are starting to shine a light on how they are treated behind the scenes, and the level of compensation offered for turning their personal lives into entertainment fodder.  Several recent examples – both locally and overseas – have also raised questions about what protections are in place to keep contestants safe.   Today on The Front Page, Damien is joined by Professor of Media and Cultural Studies at the UK's University of Aston, Helen Wood.

We talk to journalist Fiona Govan based in Madrid who writes for Olive Press about the controversy surrounding a new ad campaign in Spain proclaiming “All Bodies are Beach Bodies”. Posters including women of all shapes and sizes, including women with mastectomies with a slogan “Summer Belongs to Us too.” Helpful messaging? Or “absurd” as some opposition politicians claim which is creating “a problem where it doesn't exist”. Should children who misbehave be excluded permanently from school? Recently, Southwark Council in London hit the headlines when it urged its headteachers to sign up to an ‘Inclusion Charter' to avoid school exclusions. Some campaigners argue that excluding troubled children leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and puts them at risk of becoming part of a world of crime. Others say that it is necessary to exclude pupils who are disrupting the education of others or pose a danger to staff and other children. Anita is joined by Louisa McGeehan, chief executive of Just for Kids Law, a legal charity for children and young people; Tom Bennett, School Behaviour Advisor to the Department for Education, and Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson, headteacher of Anderton Park Primary School in Birmingham.

The Pool Boys had their backs against the wall in two big competitions this week, after losing at the Camp Nou to Barca and blowing a big chance on an away goal, they had to collect themselves for a big matchup in the Premier League against their old Manager and Pizza Sub enthusiast, Rafa Benitez. Only a win would keep pressure on Manchester City and it took Divock Origi, wearing a Big Shot Bob costume, coming on as a sub for the injured Salah to settle things once and for all. Which only led to an even bigger letdown when the Big Head Bastard ignored his teammates and dropped the thunder strike of his life to all but hand back to back Premier League titles to Manchester City. Which led to Tuesday’s Second Leg vs Messi and the boys, Liverpool needed to shut out a squad littered with World Class players and score four of their own. Origi’s poacher’s mentality and a cheeky cheap shot from Luis Suarez led to a 3-0 Liverpool lead with the striking blow coming from a heads up moment from a 20 year old local legend with balls the size of Sam Cassell. While The Set Piece boys were catching their breath and dreaming of Gini Wijnaldum tattoos, across town guys wearing jeans and sport coats to work furrowed their brows. Their beloved Spurs were headed to Ajax to face a scrappy, technically gifted, polite squad with an away goal advantage. To top it off their Knight of the White Wall is wearing compression skinny jeans and off the pitch. With their Champions League hopes hinging on a Korean striker they slur and a tiny Brazilian. Tottenham only needed to win to advance, but after the first half they were down 2-0 and looked ready to concede more. Their Dutch counterparts fell victim to two second half quick fire goals and nerves of the moment as their shorts were weighed down by the shit in their pants and Lucas Moura shot himself into Tottenham Hotspur history in the final seconds. This sets up for Bromaggedon, with the Pool Boys and Bros meeting up in Madrid, winner gets the Champions League trophy. In Merica, Wayne Rooney is still dealing with his past missteps with the Daily Mail giving Helen Wood a platform to shill her latest shot at 15 more minutes of fame and keep poor Wayne away from his beloved video games. Diego Maradona will have to spend another year in Liga MX 2 and the USSF responds to the USWNT’s lawsuit.

If you happen to be a Liverpool fan, it's been a trying week. Manchester City survived the trap game of all trap games away against a scrappy Burnley squad by the slimmest of margins, then ran into Papa Messi who just happens to be Super Saiyan right now. Pat does a welfare check on Mario and Devon to see if another season without a trophy will cause a slow descent into madness. And they all root for the pressure of the next few weeks to manifest in fans expelling bodily fluids. While Liverpool and City play at high levels, the rest of the Top four continue to play hot potato. Tottenham’s Knight of the White Wall, Harry Kane, made an appearance pitchside to watch West Ham and Michael Antonio glide their dick and balls across Tottenham’s face like a passed out pledge at a Sig Eps kegger. Manchester United keeper, David De Gea, continues to stoke our body switch conspiracy by giving up a soft goal, allowing United and Chelsea to take one point from the clash. In Merica, Wayne Rooney is back to scoring goals for DC United but Helen Wood had to bring up some old shit just when Coleen was starting to let him play video games on weeknights again. Wood, while shopping her latest book talks about an event she’s spent her whole career as a reality star trying to avoid, her threesome with Wayne in 2009. Wood discusses the fallout from that tryst that she’s been trying to avoid and totally not keep relevant. In our European Whiparound, surprise, something’s going on at PSG. A team built by a 13 year old kid with a copy of FIFA18, a PS4 and his grandmother’s credit card are underperforming. This week, they lost the Coupe De France, Neymar in next year’s Champions League, Kylian Mbappe and to Montpelier in 7 days. All while being told to man up by a petulant Ney, who is most likely out for a bit of this season and next for applying the world’s softest chin check. There can only be two reasons for this drop off, they are either acting out in response to Thomas Tuchel’s contract extension, or Drake has been taking photos in a PSG turtleneck for the last couple weeks. In WTF Bro? FIFA doesn’t care about black people and undercooked Brits continue to come for James McClean.
