This week, we unpack the big takeaways from GfK Survey 5, including MMM's strong results across multiple markets, Kyle & Jackie O's continued improvement in Melbourne and 2DayFM's ongoing ratings struggles: is there any format solution? Wade thinks he may have found one.

Then, a conversation with Mitch Churi. After his shock departure from ARN, Mitch is back with a brand-new podcast,The Mitch Churi Chat Show. He opens up about the lowest points of the last year, how he rebuilt his confidence, and why he believes there's plenty of room for his voice in the most crowded market of all — podcasting.
