What happens when an old regulator tries to police a media world that’s already moved on? We get stuck with a fight over The Platform’s Sean Plunket, the BSA, free speech, and whether broadcasting rules still make sense when podcasts and radio start crossing over.

In this episode, Duncan digs into the complaint over Plunket’s “mumbo jumbo” comment, and why the real issue might be the Platform’s link to terrestrial radio. He’s joined by Free Speech Union chief executive Jillaine Heather to talk mission creep, censorship concerns, and whether the government should be stepping in to draw a line.

They also get into the proposed under-16 social media ban, why blanket bans rarely work, and why ministers keep going missing when the hard questions start.
