Kids Media Club: Hosts Hang Out - Rachel Zegler, YouTube, Pokémon + Aardman, Bluey

Published on: 24th July, 2025

Hosts Hang Outs are a bit like buses, there aren't any for months and then two come along one week after another!

Yes, that's right, we enjoyed our hosts' natter so much we decided to do another one straight away.

Here's what we chat about in this episode of the Kids Media Club:

Emily has just seen Rachel Zegler as Evita in the West End - we get her thoughts on the show and discuss the buzz around Zegler's performance. After the Snow White fiasco is this her emancipation?

The British Media regulator Ofcom has published their advice to public service broadcasters on YouTube and other social video platforms - we discuss whether broadcasters need to be all in on YouTube or follow a more nuanced strategy.

Finally we talk about kids media brand extensions from Pokémon teaming up with Aardman to Bluey targeting grown-ups.
