Jonathan Freedland has Jay Rayner, Maev Kennedy and Hugh Muir in the studio for the latest episode of The week in review.
The panel begin by discussing the damning report that spells out just how badly the NHS is failing elderly patients. Just what do the health ombudsman's findings say about our approach to old age?
Also in the podcast, with Silvio Berlusconi on the brink of "bunga bunga"-ing his way into court and out of office, we ask, where are all the mavericks in British politics?
Finally, Steve Busfield pops in to be the cheerleader-in-chief for the 2012 Olympics. In a country – and indeed a city – that would win the gold medal for moaning every time, is anyone actually looking forward hosting the biggest sporting show on earth?
