Award-winning format devisor and international media lecturer Axel Fiacco writes 'Friday's Espresso', a weekly blog on the latest format trends (https://www.formatespresso.it/blog/). He joins Justin and David to unpack all the latest news and formats from the 2022 MIPCOM, the major European market for buying and selling formats and completed programming. They discuss what's new in unscripted genres such as dating (Love for the Ages, the Real Love Boat), social experiments (Rise & Fall, Out of Office), factual entertainment (Zero Sum Game, Hold the Front Page) and game shows (Finders Keepers). There's also discussion of the use of A.I., the benefits of chance meetings, opportunities to attend MIP for free, and the lack of big, ambitious formats.
