Mattpod

I'm grateful to Podnews for pointing me to the fact that incoming BBC DG Matt Brittin has caught podcasting, at least as a holiday job. 

Mr Brittin is paired with Hayaatun Sillem, who spent 20 years with the Royal Academy of Engineering, the last eight as CEO. The theme is leadership, and the title of the series is What We Don't Know. Guests include Andy Haldane, Chancellor of Sheffield University; Natasha Frangos of media accountants HaysMac; Hetti Barkworth-Nanton CBE CEO of Ploughshare Innonvations, formerly of Vodafone; former BP boss John Browne; Paul van Zyl of The Conduit; Navjot Sawhney, founder of The Washing Machine Project; all produced by Boxlight, the podcast brainchild of Jimmy McLoughlin. Watch out for appearances as BBC Neds....

The first episode is all about Matt. Not much new, though the BBC can expect some much needed prioritisation and 'velocity'.
