Media Talk podcast: the Times they are a-changin'

John Plunkett is joined by Dan Sabbagh and Lisa O'Carroll to discuss another turbulent week for the newspaper industry.

James Harding quits as editor of the Times, hinting at pressure from the top in his resignation speech – what does it mean for the future of the paper, and who's in the running for the job? Will it keep us from talking about Rebekah Brooks's massive payout? Probably not.

The Telegraph stands off against Number 10 with a story involving Maria Miller and (surprise surprise) MPs' expenses. But will this story also quash the idea of statutory regulation?

Plus, the top programmes of 2012 are announced, Vicky Frost previews Victoria Wood's new drama and John ponders who Mike the Knight is.

Next week we'll be recording our end-of-year quiz. If you have some media-related teasers to stump our panel, please leave them below.
