Media Talk podcast: Phone hacking, Ambridge Extra, and Big Brother

Matt Wells has James Robinson and Radio Talk presenter Trevor Dann in the pod for this edition of Media Talk.

We begin by discussing the latest in the phone-hacking scandal after two senior News of the World journalists were arrested.

Next, we turn our attention to radio, in particular the launch of Ambridge Extra on Radio 4 Extra – it's the Archers, Jim, but not as we know it – before rounding up the news from the Press Awards.

Finally, as Channel 5 snaps up the rights to Big Brother, we wonder just where Richard Desmond found £200m?

Have a listen a post your feedback on the below. Matt and the gang will be back next week and, you'll be pleased to know, for the foreseeable future.
