It's a very special edition of Media Talk this week - recorded for the first time in front of a live audience in the bowels of Guardian HQ. And if you thought it was high time you were able to tell you API from your Bebo then this is the show for you.
Matt Wells hosts a panel of the finest digital media minds, including America's self-styled Travelling Geeks - social media wonk JD Lasica; Silicon Valley reporter Sarah Lacy; and influential blogger Robert Scoble - as well as the Guardian's director of digital content Emily Bell, and BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones.
Topics up for debate include what the death of Michael Jackson and the uprisings in Iran and China have taught us about the interaction between old and new media. Plus, why has the mainstream media been so quick to adopt Twitter? With Rupert Murdoch desperate to finally monetise his news sites, is it possible to put the free genie back in the bottle? And does it matter if, in the near future, there's only an online edition of the Guardian?
It's a longer programme than usual - but we hope you enjoy the live(ish) experience. Thank you to all of you who braved the rain. Carnegie Hall, here we come!
As usual, post your comments on the blog or Facebook, follow us, and if you think you and your iPod can handle even more talk about (new) media, check out the July edition of Media Talk USA with Jeff Jarvis.
