Lewis Goodall Leaves BBC To Join Global

That is a huge loss.  Have Global won the lottery or something - surely podcasts are somewhat of a loss leader.

I am sure they may end up on the radio shows at some point, but podcasts are very popular, and since Apple introduced the concept of paid subscriptions, and Global have been pushing for their Global Player and signing up - I think they are planning to monetise further and are staffing up with big names, for future content plans.
