Matt Wells is joined in the studio by Paul Robinson and John Plunkett for this week's dose of Media Talk, and where else to start than with a bit of politics? After a week of Milidrama – we look at the media reaction to the rise of Ed Miliband. Beehive City's Dan Sabbagh gives us his thoughts.
Also in the podcast, we discuss the new BBC study into the portrayal of gay people on television and radio.
Plus, we look at Jeremy Hunt's plans to beef up Britain's network of local TV stations.
Finally, with The Apprentice returning after an 18-month absence, Vicky Frost joins us to look ahead to the next job interview from hell.
