Can big tech be tamed? As the competition regulator tries to tweak Google’s algorithm, Mail Online’s SEO chief Carly Steven explains what the impact has been for her outlet.

Also on the show: are vertical dramas the next big thing? Caroline Frost, Radio Times TV Editor and Podcast Host, tells us if they’re a thumbs up... or is that a swipe right?

All that plus: discontent swells at a BBC meeting over Gaza coverage, the Washington Post upgrades the right to reply... and, in the Audio Network Media Quiz, we look at three brands that are breaking records.
