			<description><![CDATA[<p>In episode 2 of <em>The TV Collective Podcast</em>, we’re coming to you straight from the TV Collective Live Festival—a celebration of creatives of colour with masterclasses, sessions, and insights. We’re diving into how to <em>thrive until 2025</em>, with BAFTA-winning personality, chef, and musician Big Zuu, who shares how he navigates in an ever-changing industry.</p><br><p>But that’s not all—we’re launching the TV Collective Content Fund to give out monthly cash prizes, and this <strong>Friday, 27th September</strong>, someone’s walking away with <strong>£5,000</strong> cold, hard cash for their project!
