Media Talk podcast: George Entwistle's first week at the top

After weeks of silence, the new director general of the BBC George Entwistle has broken cover. John Plunkett tries to make sense of yet another restructuring of the BBC and his plans to put more women on air without resorting to quotas.

Joining John to discuss the week's media stories are Maggie Brown, former BBC2 controller Jane Root and Dan Sabbagh. Top of the pile is BSkyB's clean bill of health from Ofcom, the latest from the continent following the publication of topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge and – just as controversial – the fallout from the MediaGuardian 100.

Plus Vicky Frost returns from a week in Copenhagen to discuss the third – and final – series of The Killing.
