Prince Harry's 40th birthday, Kate Middleton back at work, and ANOTHER dramatisation of that Prince Andrew interview. Headlines about the Royals are frequent front pages - but is this actually news? The monarchy is given a fairly easy ride in the media - rarely questioned, often praised, history erased. But why don't editorial guidelines about ‘due impartiality' apply to the royal family, when 40% of Brits disagree with its existence? This week, storyteller Kelechi Okafor and author Dr Laura Clancy (who wrote Running the Family Firm: how the monarchy manages its image and our money) join us to talk about monarchy in the media. How much money does the taxpayer spend on the monarchy? What is the actual job of a royal correspondent - and why are they all called Ms England, or Mr Dymond, or Ms Bond? And what actually happened during Elizabeth II's Empire? Plus, your weekly media storms. How the Trump campaign is playing the papers; how British tabloids got a pro-Palestine pregnant mother arrested for calling Sunak and Braverman ‘coconuts'; and what the Jewish Chronicle scandal reveals about our wider media's mistakes.

Hey all, hope you're well! This episode was inspired by a tweet from the amazing baby girl that is Kelechi Okafor (@kelechnekoff) speaking about the fact that as creators, we have to expend so much energy chasing late payments that we end up drained as a result. As a result of the disrespect and disregard that some companies & organisations show us by not paying us on time (and not making the effort to) Let's get into it.
