Cutting Close: Truth Uncovered EP.3

This week on Cutting Close, Josh Hughes and Caolan Carney-Slee are back with our brand new segment, Client Confessions. And honestly, some of these submissions left us speechless, and made us think very differently about our clients and fans, like, really, how did people actually send these in? We talk about the truth behind what’s happening in the media right now, including Wireless (we love Pepsi Max btw), and we get into some agree/disagree games, digging into what’s real and what’s just noise. Light-hearted, but always honest. We also exposed our producer, who was persuaded with a pint, to keep it in the video so enjoy!
