Media Talk podcast: Nick Grimshaw helps BBC dominate Rajars

On this week's Media Talk we pin back our ears and take in the latest Rajar listening figures – new records for Radio 2 and 6 Music, but half a million listeners fewer for newly-youthful Radio 1. But that's not as Grim(shaw) as you might think.

Also on the show, Sky and Netflix roll out the big guns in the battle for on-demand TV viewing and the Sunday Times apologises over its controversial Gerald Scarfe cartoon.

Plus, we catch up on all things small screen with BBC2's Great British Menu, Sky Atlantic's The Following, and prepare to say farewell to the second series of BBC4's Borgen.

Joining John Plunkett are the Guardian's Mark Sweney and Vicky Frost, MediaGuardian columnist Roy Greenslade, former Radio 1 producer and Channel 4 radio executive Sam Steele, making her pod debut, and former GMG Radio chief executive John Myers.
