Kate Middleton's health has been at the centre of press and public speculation, and in this episode of The JournoWave Podcast presenter Polly Rippon explains the privacy laws protecting the Princess of Wales and dissects the communications strategy of Kensington Palace.

Anna Jones collars former Conservative spin king Lee Cain to talk about his keynote speech at the School of Journalism’s IPCC Conference in March. The PR professional chats about life in frontline politics, what students need to look out for in upcoming elections, and the importance of getting young blood into number 10.

And the team has uncovered an archive interview with BBC journalist Nick Garnett conducted by head of undergraduate studies Lisa Bradley about the most challenging stories of his career.  This comes ahead of the publication of Lisa's book 'Journalism as the Fourth Emergency Service'. Last but not least, Jenny Eells chats to co-author Dr Emma Heywood about how they hope it will shape industry practice.   If you would like to find out more about some of JournoWave's contributors - you can find them on X
