Media Talk podcast: the Stig reveals all

John Plunkett is joined by Guardian media reporter Lisa O'Carroll and former Heat editor Sam Delaney to discuss the week's media news.

As the Leveson inquiry draws to a close – for now, at least – Dan Sabbagh has a cosy fireside chat with ex-PCC director Stephen "Stig" Abell. How will any new regulatory body define a newspaper – and will all publishers join up?
