Attention returns to the south of France as the TV industry is joined at their annual international bash by YouTube. Media writer Tara Conlan is not in Cannes, but is on our sofa, and ready to explain.

Also on the pod: as Spotify does more deals with streamers - BBC Studios’ Thomas Curry is here to survey the podcast landscape with us. 

All that plus: the Daily Mail doubles down on TikTok content, Channel 4 grows its platform... and, in the Audio Network Media Quiz, we discover why our sector will never be the same again.

The Media Quiz is sponsored by Audio Network, who select the music to score each episode - they can do it for you too at https://www.audionetwork.com
