Media Talk: The G20 video

On the latest Media Talk podcast, Matt Wells is joined by Steve Busfield to discuss the continuing evolution of the front-page splash following the Guardian's story about the death of Ian Tomlinson. Putting aside the repercussions of the incident itself, this truly has become a news story for a multimedia age, setting the agenda for the rest of the British media.

Also in the podcast, John Plunkett takes us through the Sony Radio Academy Award nominations – where your favourite media podcast is in the running for a gong.

Plus, the panel give their thoughts about the pair of parliamentary reports stating the BBC should have its money-making wing, BBC Worldwide, reined in, and provide a portion of the licence fee to its commercial rivals to fund regional news.

Finally, Stephen Brook pops in to round up the week's TV news, showing his undying love for Running With Heels and looking at more trouble in Albert Square.

And if you haven't yet heard Media Talk USA with Jeff Jarvis – or, quite frankly, our brand new Business podcast – well, what are you waiting for?

(Oh, and the Durex advert that we talk about in relation to early-evening orgasms, is well worth watching – but it's not child-friendly. Like most of this show...)
