Christmas is nearly upon us and in the best traditions of the holiday season broadcasters are gathering up all their best bits from the year and packaging it up into a highlights reel.

We didn't want to miss out on this more affordable form of entertainment, so we've produced our very own Little Questions Podcast highlights.

These are our best bits. Our thoughts on everything from the merits or otherwise of media training to what makes a good or bad pitch; from what a CEO wants in a Corporate Affairs team to why measuring what we do is still such a problem.

Regular listeners will know we're fond of a short film or TV clip at the end of an episode. At the end of this one, we've gathered all those clips together so you can test yourself on identifying where they come from. Send us your answers and if you're on Santa's good list we'll send you an Apella goody bag!

We hope you enjoy the podcasts as much as we do making them. If you have any suggestions as to issues you'd like us to muse upon in the future email us at [email protected]

So, from all of us at Apella, to all of you. A very merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.
