Media Talk Podcast: Leveson, Mashable and the Apprentice

John Plunkett looks back at another week in the media – and forward to the new series of the Apprentice – in the company of Dan Sabbagh, Josh Halliday and Vicky Frost.

Dan and Josh discuss the latest developments in the phone-hacking scandal and the Leveson inquiry. We also turn our attention to the BBC's plans to launch a paid-for download service of its shows, and ask why CNN would put a reported $200m price tag on social media news site Mashable.

We also look ahead to the biggest TV rivalry of the year – Danny Cohen's The Voice and Simon Cowell's Britain's Got Talent.

Talking of TV, Vicky Frost casts her eye over the new batch of wannabe Apprentices, and gives us her verdict on BBC2's White Heat and ITV1's Scott and Bailey.
