On the listener side, the The Wargame podcast from Sky News has struck a nerve. It holds a 4.4-star rating on Apple Podcasts, with reviews calling it “terrifyingly real,” “brilliantly produced,” and “a wake-up call.” Reddit reactions highlight the UK’s apparent vulnerability and the stark difference in scale compared to U.S. crisis response setups. Across the board, the mood is serious, this is not a thriller, it’s a rehearsal for a possible tomorrow.

My thoughts on the Wargame podcast

IN the 70’s the fantastic James Burke hosted a very similar series of specials, where experts and politicians either in post or retired played out various simulations. they were fantastic he was a masterful broadcaster, so I was concerned the Wargame Podcast wouldn’t match my expectation, but is brilliant.

My initial thought? Department Q was a Slow Horses wannabe. My final verdict? It’s a gripping, atmospheric cold case triumph in its own right. Give it a chance! 💀

As the world develops, another co-dependency on one app has to be viewed as a worry. It's just one app, and yes, I know there are others, but there are thousands, probably millions of businesses using ChatGPT to power their own apps. It's like dominoes, and broadly it's one wire, one hard drive, one glitchy software update. The effect could be catastrophic. Our government is promising more AI-based infrastructure. But it's new, and on days like today, just as prone to issues as all the banking and other systems we have all come to rely on. And all these systems are run lean; there's not an army of engineers ready to pounce on the problems. I favour the local LLM system; I use Mistral for my apps. The LLM is stored on the local machine and operates independently.

Broadcasters want viewers.
Brands want buyers.

If you’ve got a show idea, a back catalogue, or even just a niche audience — a brand might fund you.
But here’s the trick:

❌ Don’t pitch it like a TV show.
✅ Pitch it like a story that sells something.

Specsavers sponsored a book club.
A denture brand backed a talent show.
IKEA nearly backed a sitcom.
Why? The content aligned with their product.

If you want brands to say yes, make sure your idea helps them say something meaningful.

💡 In today’s short video: what brands really want — and how to get them to back your creative.
This is Part 2 of my 5-part series on new funding routes for producers.

I colonised myself, my own AI, trained with my data sets built up over many years. Ask me anything, advice, ideas, just don't upload your latest next big thing, this uses ChatGPT too.

My Genius Game ITV review, is anyone free to have a Zoom to explain it to me? I still don’t know what the prize is? I saw a crown for £10,000,000 but that seems quite excessive even for a network desperate for ad dollars and viewers. The difference between Claudia and David is driven by the fact he’s not in the room, there’s no empathy, it’s not his fault but he feels over-scripted and inauthentic....

The Genius Game ITV Review dazzles with sleek production and smart games but falls short on emotional connection and representation.
