Media Talk podcast: Kim Shillinglaw to run BBC2

John Plunkett is joined by Emily Bell, professor of journalism at Columbia University, and MediaGuardian reporter Tara Conlan to analyse the week's media news.

More media musical chairs as Kim Shillinglaw is named new controller of BBC2 and BBC4, while BBC3's Zai Bennett is off to Sky Atlantic, leaving tough times ahead for the channel as it manages its move to online-only.

The Guardian US has made off with journalism's biggest accolade, the Pulitzer prize. Sharing the spoils with The Washington Post, the panel discuss what went right for GMG's American office.

Elsewhere in the podcast, Charlotte Higgins discusses her new Guardian series on the history of the BBC and Stuart Dredge reports on the developments at MIPTV, including YouTube's attempts to take on Netflix and linear television.

Plus, Rebecca Nicholson returns to her TV lair – now situated in an undisclosed New York location – to talk Mad Men, Game of Thrones and the new late-night talkshow battle.
