Media Talk podcast: Ryan Giggs, Twitter and Cheryl Cole

Matt Wells is back and he's joined by Janine Gibson and Olly Mann from the Sony Gold-winning Answer Me This! podcast for a rip-roaring edition of Media Talk.

We start by discussing the outing of Ryan Giggs as the footballer at the heart of the superinjunction controversy, and analysing what it all means for privacy, gagging orders and regulation of the internet.

Also in the podcast, we celebrate Twitter's acquisition of TweetDeck, and get ever so slightly excited about BT trialling its next-generation wireless broadband.

Finally, you can take Cheryl out of Newcastle, but you can't take Newcastle out of Cheryl. As Ms Cole finds herself ditched and dumped from the US X Factor, we wonder whether she'll be making a (dramatic) return to the British version of the show.

Have a listen, and let us know what you think in the comments below.
