Radio 4 may have grabbed the headlines, but the real triumph was for the BBC World Service. In this week's podcast, Emily Bell and radio correspondent John Plunkett join me to assess the winners and losers at the Sony Radio Academy Awards.
Also in the show, we discuss BBC chairman Sir Michael Lyons and Channel 4 chief executive Andy Duncan going head-to-head about top slicing the licence fee, and the latest bout of verbal fisticuffs concerning the future funding of C4.
Plus, we look ahead to this year's MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival - not least the prospect of a one-off festival special of How to Look Good Naked featuring Michael Grade, Mark Thompson, and Dawn Airey (or not). We hear from Helen Lewis, the founder of Schmooze & Booze, and - for the benefit of those under the age of 35 - we discuss the good old days when you could drink and smoke in a newsroom. Sort of.
Finally, we give the verdict on the return of Gladiators, and give Jeremy Vine a few sartorial tips
