About this episode

2016 is nearly at an end, so you know what that means - it's highlights time!

Kris Bramwell, Roxy Ebrahim-Khan, Zayna Shaikh and Charles Miller, aka the BBC Academy Podcast team (left to right above), share their favourite clips from the past year to mark the end of the current series.

Peaky Blinders producer Simon Maloney, Operation Gold Rush’s Dan Snow, BBC News presenter Maxine Mawhinney, journalist Vanessa Feltz, television producer Jon Plowman and Sima Kotecha, a reporter for Radio 4’s Today programme, all feature.

In this podcast you will learn:

- about the personal qualities Sima says you need to be a journalist - what makes good video content for social media - how good ideas come first, and the platform second, when telling stories - what Vanessa looks for in a caller to her radio phone-in - and more!

Charles Miller is the editorial lead for the BBC Academy Podcast and also writes the BBC Academy blog.

Roxy Ebrahim-Khan, Zayna Shaikh and Kris Bramwell are producers in the BBC Academy’s digital content team.
