Emily Bell is on holiday and Cristina Odone is having an operation on her foot so we have something of a male-dominated podcast - sorry about that - but their shoes are amply filled by Chris Shaw, senior programme controller at Channel Five and a MediaGuardian.co.uk columnist, along with podcast regular Steve Hewlett. We talk again about the further revelations of BBC radio presenters' pay, and a survey that says blogs had a disproportionately big influence on the rest of media.
We also have a report from the official reopening of the BBC's iconic London headquarters, Broadcasting House. I took along Will Hurst, a reporter with Building Design, who talked me through the controversy surrounding the project.
Jeff Jarvis joins us from the US to discuss the Euston Manifesto and whether the blogosphere is inherently left- or right-wing, and Gareth McLean rounds things off with a bit of welcome wit. We also get through quite a lot of your comments - and we play the MP3 "letter" that Daniel Kramb sent us. If you'd like to interact with Media Talk in this way, record your comment as an MP3 file and email it to us at the address given at the end of the podcast. You will listen all the way through.
A technical note: some lucky subscribers may get two versions of this week's podcast: after listening to the first one, after it had been published, I felt it needed some more work. Think of the first one as a collector's item.
