Sunday Mar 26, 2023
Jess Harrold is joined by Tim Burke, Akanksha Soni, Chanté Bohitige and Evelina Grecenko for a MIPIM debrief special of the weekly roundup podcast.
Toghether, they share their biggest stories and best memories of their few days in Cannes, and sum up the market sentiment as the annual convention played out against the backdrop of a developing banking crisis.
In addition, they catch us up on the major headlines they returned to - but whose life was changed on a "cellular level" by a Snickers dessert, and who was the ultimate hip-hop DJ? Hint: Tim Burke is the answer to one of these, but not the one you think.
