What a week it has been, with no shortage of things to talk about. In sympathy with Mark Thompson's travails at the BBC, we launch a Media Talk charity appeal for the corporation. No fake competitions, I promise. Plenty of (semi) serious chat too: we look at the implications of this week's events for the BBC, RDF and the industry in general with the help of veteran documentary maker Paul Watson, and your podcast panel, Janine Gibson and Owen Gibson (no relation).
Bad Science columnist Ben Goldacre argues that the media reports science badly (funny, that!), while former Guardian science editor Tim Radford puts the case for the defence.
We also take a look at the latest on the Wall Street Journal story, and Gareth McLean is in the studio too. Hope you enjoy.
