Veteran tech journalist Spencer doesn’t hold back in this refreshingly honest episode filled with media mishaps and marketing missteps. From confidently predicting the iPad would never take off to losing £10,000 worth of BBC footage in a single stairwell accident, Spencer shares the kind of hard-earned lessons that come from real-world chaos. It’s a funny, cringe-worthy, and surprisingly relatable look at how fast things can go wrong behind the scenes.

You’ll hear what really happens when promised access on international press trips disappears on arrival, why having your PR contact on the same flight matters more than you'd think, and how a nonexistent motion-sensing TV led to an awkward bamboo laptop diversion. Whether you're in PR, media, or tech, this episode is a sharp reminder that mistakes are inevitable. They are also where the best stories usually begin.
