This week, Matt Wells is joined by Stephen Brook and John Plunkett to discuss the Daily Telegraph dishing the dirt about MPs' expenses. How do the merits – or otherwise – of chequebook journalism stack up against the public interest? Heather Brooke, freedom of information campaigner, gives us her thoughts. And why or why didn't Carrie Gracie heed that golden rule of journalism: never become the story?
Also in the podcast, we round up the winners and losers from the Sony Radio Academy awards. It was triumph at last for Radio 3 – but are you any the wiser as to what the station really does? Is Chris Evans now confirmed as the heir apparent to Terry Wogan? And what will Tim Davie be saying to Mark Damazer and Andy Parfitt after Radio 4 and Radio 1 were overlooked in so many categories?
Finally, we look at the battle over the London Evening Standard after the paper's former editor Veronica Wadley blasts its "Pravda-style" good news.
