It's a big-name podcast this week. First up we hear from Mark Thompson, the BBC director general, who has increased the pressure on the government to give the corporation an above-inflation licence fee rise. Emily Bell, director of digital content at the Guardian, questions whether it was right to give the BBC responsibility for leading the digital switchover process.
Alan Rusbridger, editor of the Guardian, celebrates the House of Lords ruling in the Wall Street Journal case that gives a shot in the arm to press freedom in Britain, while Caroline Kean, a partner at the law firm Wiggin, explains the legal implications.
Anthony Lilley, chief executive of Magic Lantern Productions, is astonished at how much Google has paid for YouTube, and we hear from the former US vice president Al Gore and BSkyB chief executive James Murdoch on their plans to bring Gore's Current TV to Britain.
Plus the usual mischief from Gareth McLean. Hope you enjoy - and we'd love to hear from you.
