Media Talk podcast: Richard Briers remembered, and Radio 5 Live changes

On this week's Media Talk, we look at the job facing new Radio 5 Live boss Jonathan Wall, and wonder what went wrong for the government's 4G auction.

Plus we talk to actor Peter Egan about his friend and Ever Decreasing Circles colleague Richard Briers, who passed away this week.

We also review the last episode of Channel 4 conspiracy thriller Utopia, and look forward to the new sitcom from Sue Perkins, Heading Out, and the latest series of Robert Winston's Child of Our Time.

Joining John Plunkett this week are Helen Zaltzman, one half of Sony-winning podcast Answer Me This!, broadcasting consultant Paul Robinson, and The Guardian's Rebecca Nicholson.
