Media Talk: Taking the C-word out of the BBC

This week, a slightly poorly Matt Wells is joined by Paul Robinson and John Plunkett to discuss the new anti-swearing regime across the BBC. Is this the real legacy of ex-Radio 2 controller Lesley Douglas?

Also in the podcast, we go behind the scenes at the Guardian Student Media Awards, and Roy Greenslade bemoans the financial constraints that are now pricing the working class out of a career in the media. Is this the end of the barrow-boy-made-good era?

Plus, more job cuts at the Telegraph; the Indy gets set to move in with the Daily Mail; and moustache correspondent Gareth McLean on the new series of Gladiators and the Christmas TV schedules.

With apologies to Simon Heffer.
