Media Talk podcast: Laura Kuenssberg, GNM losses, and DLT

On this week's Media Talk, Matt Wells is joined by Maggie Brown and Olly Mann from the Answer Me This! podcast to cogitate and regurgitate the big stories of the past seven days.

We begin with the departure of another high-profile journalist from the BBC as political correspondent Laura Kuenssberg joins ITV. What does her move mean for the fortunes of both broadcasters – and who has possession of her 59,000 Twitter followers?

Also in the podcast, after the remarkable story that Aung San Suu Kyi's favourite DJ is Dave Lee Travis, we ask whether the Hairy Cornflake could become the unlikely saviour of the World Service?

Plus, we look at the new 'digital-first' strategy announced by the Guardian after more double-digit loses for GNM.

Finally, Vicky Frost pops in to tell us about breakfast radio and the new BBC2 summer and autumn schedules.
