Difficult Conversations

Season 2, Episode 1,   Apr 06, 2023, 12:00 AM

Hacks and Flaks is back with another series of salacious insights from the worlds of politics and journalism. 
We start in toe curling style as our resident flaks and special guest, Dr Alastair Masser, recount some of the most awkward conversations they've had during their careers in government.
What would you do if someone demanded you delay an airplane take-off because they were 'running late'? 
Is there an ideal way to tell someone that their dress sense makes them look like an idiot on the world stage? 
And how would YOU tell an MP that their personal hygiene was severely lacking?
Well, our panel has had these cringeworthy conversations, so you don't have to. 
Instead, you can sit back and enjoy the schadenfreude as they share some of the most uncomfortable moments of their career with our host, Petrie. 

Enjoy! 

Next week on Hacks and Flaks:
 Eastenders star, Lucy Benjamin speaks publicly for the first time about being a victim of the phone hacking scandal. Lucy also shares how not knowing where the stories about her were coming from impacted her relationship, job, and trust in her own family.
