After Suralan hires Lee McQueen as his new apprentice - live blogger extraordinaire Anna Pickard joins me in the pod to give her view on the best bit of telly of the last twelve months. We reminisce about Nick, Margaret, Clurrr, Raef, Sophocles, and the rest of the cast from this season of The Apprentice. Should you want any more, there are even extended interviews with Lee and Alex Wotherspoon as your Media Talk Extra podcasts.
Fear ye not, Apprentice non-acolytes, we have other topics too.
Maggie Brown tells us about culture secretary Andy Burnham's lastest proposals. Steve Hewlett gives his thoughts on the latest BBC Trust report: is the Beeb really neglecting Scotland and Wales? We also hear from feminist bloggers Jess McCabe from the F-Word and Jessica Valenti of feministing.com as we discuss women and the web. That's part of the Guardian's Future of Journalism talks - plenty more from that over the coming weeks
Finally, Gareth McLean makes his long-awaited return to the microphone to discuss the demise of the television reviewer, and what to watch now that The Apprentice is over.
If that's what you're talking about too - post your comments on the blog below, but do make sure you a listen to the show here.
