BBC salaries have been in the news again, but this time it's a row over what the bosses pay themselves, not their stars. Steve Hewlett - who was paid quite a lot of money when he was at Carlton - joins Emily Bell and me to assess whether they're worth it.

Colette Bowe, chairman of the Ofcom consumer panel, comes in to the pod to discuss a hard-hitting report that the panel has published about the process of switching off the analogue TV system in Britain. It makes uncomfortable reading for Ofcom, the government, and the body that is meant to deliver digital switchover, Digital UK.

We also hear from Jeff Jarvis, our man who knows everything about the US media. Plus John Plunkett gives us a preview of the MediaGuardian 100, our annual powerlist of the most influential people in the British media.

As usual we welcome your comments - you can post your views here; call us on Skype at GU_studio; or send us a podpost (any kind of audio file will do) to media@theguardian.com
