Media Talk podcast: new faces at the Sun, Independent and BBC1

Hugh Muir sits in for John Plunkett, tackling the week's media news. Joining him are Media Guardian reporter Josh Halliday, former radio executive and journalist Sam Steele and one half of Answer Me This, Olly Mann.

There are new editors at the Sun and the Independent – what can David Dinsmore and Amol Rajan bring to their respective titles? And how much will their digital strategies play a part in their success?

In other news, we talk about the slow death of The Voice on BBC1 and ask what direction will new controller Charlotte Moore want to take the programme?

Plus, Rebecca Nicholson tells us why she was left underwhelmed by Russell Brand's appearance on Question Time – as well as answering why The Man with the 10-Stone Testicles hit the spot with almost 4 million people.

We'd like your thoughts on this week's topics. Why does Britain's Got Talent have 4 million more viewers than the Voice? You can comment on any of the subjects on this week's podcast below.
