The IAB UK Podcast

Following the Government’s announcement that it will be introducing a 9pm watershed on High Fat, Salt and Sugar online ads - and potentially an outright ban - we know that our members will have a lot of questions about what this means in practice and what the potential wider ramifications could be. In this special episode, James talks to the IAB's Head of Policy and Regulatory Affairs, Christie Dennehy-Neil, who explains what's actually been said so far, what it means for advertisers and the digital advertising industry, and what an outright ban could mean in practice, whatever area of the industry you work in.

In this extended episode, Rachel talks to James about how she and the rest of the Today in Focus team put together each episode, gives her view on why news podcasts offer a much-needed break from the breaking news cycle and reveals her top tips for recording at home.
