Current's The Pub

The BBC is cutting jobs, the future of its funding is in doubt, and it has enemies in high places. Host Adam Ragusea talks with veteran U.K. media reporter Maggie Brown, who catches us up on the latest BBC drama and speculates about the venerable Beeb’s future. Also on the show: Political scientist Patrick O’Mahen says his research proves countries that spend more money on public broadcasting have better-informed citizens. Your host shares an old interview with podcaster Marc Maron that did not go the way it sounded in the final cut, and your feedback on a proposal to ensure honesty in editing by posting raw tape to the Internet.
