This episode is timely, following PRWeek's recent Pay Gaps Project, which looked at gender inequality in the industry, and new research from WIPR that found two thirds of senior women in the industry have considered leaving due to burn out.

The trio examine how the status quo often fails to support women and encourage many to leave the industry early. They also suggest what steps may need to be taken to solve the problems.

This week's episode is published on World Menopause Day today (18 October), and the need to be supportive of women who are going through the menopause was discussed in the show.

The findings of Edelman's latest Trust Barometer - which found growing unease and mistrust among many people around innovation - are debated. There's also a look at the backlash to the project from the campaign group Clean Creatives among others.

The client/agency pitching process is discussed following a story last week in which an agency was invited to pitch as a "courtesy".
