Media Talk podcast: Jamaica Inn 'mumbling' row

In the week where new BBC1 drama Jamaica Inn lost viewers after complaints over inaudible dialogue, John Plunkett flexes his vocal chords in the presence of Radio Academy chief executive Paul Robinson and MediaGuardian reporter Maggie Brown. How much of the blame rests with the channel – or should the artistic team be responsible?

Elsewhere in the media news, the panel discuss Discovery's aborted Channel 5 bid and the remaining interest in the broadcaster. Meanwhile, Netflix has announced record customer figures and higher subscription prices – will this mean more investment in content?

Plus, Megan Conner returns to the podcast to review the second series of Ricky Gervais's Channel 4 comedy Derek and the TV adaptation of cult classic Fargo.
