Media Talk podcast: who will win the VoD wars?

John Plunkett is joined by Tech Weekly's Jemima Kiss and Stuart Dredge in this special programme that we have decided to nickname 'Tech Media Talk Weekly'.

Recorded at the Guardian's new coffee shop at Silicon Roundabout – home of tech businesses including Moshi Monsters and SoundCloud – the panel discusses the on/off sale of Hulu. Is there malaise in the TV industry, despite earlier successes such as the BBC's iPlayer?

Apple, Google and Microsoft are all competing to be the centre of your entertainment hub – but who's winning? And do we really want everything in one box?

Plus, as is traditional, Rebecca Nicholson drops in for an iced coffee and a chat about the final episode of Luther, the return of Phone Shop and the decline of The Americans.
