"Carl argues against the BBC licence fee, suggesting that in today's media landscape, funding models should focus on subscriptions rather than a compulsory fee."
In a conversation between Lian, a former professor turned head of a green startup, and Carl, an ex-Royal Navy member now a software developer, they discuss their differing views on the BBC's funding.
