The week in review podcast: Libya, the 'big society', and the royal wedding

This week, Jonathan Freedland is joined in the studio by Polly Toynbee, Miranda Sawyer and the poet and broadcaster Ian McMillan.

First up, actor and comedian David Schneider gives us his take on the events of the last seven days, from the uprising in Libya to the battle over voting reform and the guest list for the royal wedding.

The panel then get stuck into debating the 'big society'. In recent weeks, the wheels have been falling off David Cameron's big idea. Will it find itself – like the cones hotline and 'back to basics' campaign of the 1990s – on the scrapheap of discarded political follies?
