Two British journalists died in Baghdad this week. Is it too dangerous to report from Iraq and should the other foreign journalists there pull out? Ed Pilkington, who's just finished a stint as home - and previously foreign - editor of the Guardian joins us to discuss the dilemmas.
Chris Shaw, senior programme controller at Five, and Ian Johnson, publicist to the stars (well, some of them anyway) join me and Emily Bell to talk about whether Channel 4 have been irresponsible this year in putting unstable people in Big Brother.
Jeff Jarvis talks us through an important court ruling in California that gives bloggers the same rights as other journalists when it comes to protecting sources. And Gareth McLean rounds things off in his usual style.
I'm away next week - Roy Greenslade will be holding the ring in my place. Be nice to him. If you want to send him some comments, you can call our podpost hotline via Skype at GU_studio. Or you can email audio files to media@theguardian.com - and of course you can post your comments here.
