Hi William, personally I like to use Financial Times (FT), Spotify and YouTube. Using the FT you can find interesting news in different categories. YouTube can be used to learn about the industry as well as to hear breaking news (and to watch Sky News/BBC News on the go). Spotify has news podcasts you can listen too, which breakdown news stories for you

Hi Sonya, apologies for the late reply - not sure why I did not get notified!
A good idea would be to focus on things 1) that interest you, 2) that are relevant to your work / role you want to get involved in, and 3) interesting trendy topics that you can discuss in conversation.
Not only will this provide you with something to discuss during interviews, but it will also help you when you go to networking events.
Hope this helps!
