Media Talk podcast: defamation bill, Iain Dale on LBC and Eurovision

On this week's Media Talk, we discuss how Stephen Fry, Tom Stoppard and some of Britain's other most prominent authors and playwrights are trying to save the defamation bill from being killed off, and talk to the new host of LBC's drivetime slot,Iain Dale.

Plus we weigh up Bonnie Tyler's chances of winning this year's Eurovision Song Contest, and BBC and ITV slug it out with rival crime dramas Broadchurch and Mayday.

Joining John Plunkett are Matt Deegan, creative director of Folded Media; media commentator Roy Greenslade; and the Guardian's Lisa O'Carroll and Vicky Frost.
