Media Talk: All change at BBC radio

It's another busy edition of Media Talk, with Stephen Brook at the helm.

We begin with the changes at BBC radio. Chris Evans, Simon Mayo and Richard Bacon all started their new gigs this week – as did the much-less-heralded Gaby Logan and Tony Livesey, it should be said – and Paul Robinson and John Plunkett are here to deliver their verdicts on the new sounds of Radio 2 and Radio 5 Live.

Also in the podcast, as Google sends a shockwave through the internet by threatening to pull out of China – Kevin Anderson tells us what it means for censorship, blogging, and freedom of information. There's more on this too in the new edition of Media Talk USA.

Plus, Maggie Brown gives her take on the rumours that Rod Liddle is set to appointed as the new editor of the Independent.

Finally, with Harry Hill in big-money talks to join Sky and Simon Cowell heading to America, we ask: is ITV's worst nightmare actually coming true?
