Media Talk: 2008 in review

It's our in-no-way-pre-recorded-review-of-2008 podcast!

Matt Wells and the Guardian's director of digital content Emily Bell cast aside the mince pies and forego another helping of brussel sprouts to analyse the biggest media stories of the past twelve months.

There's Sachsgate (or Manuelgate as we always preferred here in the pod) and the subsequent Daily Mail-itis that swept through Britain (or at least Middle England); the end of Channel 4 Radio; Max Mosley taking on the News of the World - and winning; and that Heinz gay kiss advert.

As for the prospects for 2009...hmmm, perhaps you might want to wear your ear muffs for that part of the show.
