Media Talk for Friday March 23

We're on the road again this week, this time at the Changing Media Summit, organised by Media Guardian. If you don't know what's around the corner, this is the place to find out.

We hear from the chief executive of Last.fm, Felix Miller, whose social networking site based on the music tastes of its 15 million users is putting the frighteners on traditional radio operators.

There's also a debate about the increasing importance of social media - that is, media that gives its users an opportunity to interact, recommend and share, and not just comment. The Guardian's head of blogs, Kevin Anderson, and the head of content partnership and Google, Patrick Walker, are the men in the know.

And we hear from some of the big beasts in the media jungle about how they are responding to all of this: Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian; Andy Duncan, chief executive of Channel 4; and Tom Loosemore, head of Web 2.0 at the BBC. (Which made me think, isn't his title out of date already?)

Emily Bell, the Guadian's director of digital content, and Anthony Lilley, chief executive of Magic Lantern Productions, are with me to provide expert commentary.
