Media Talk podcast: Rajars, BBC payoffs and cakes

This week John Plunkett is joined by Media Talk regular Maggie Brown and the former Observer media editor James Robinson. Together, they discuss their take on the week's media news, including the latest Rajar figures. Nick Grimshaw has shed 1 million listeners in a year: but is that good or bad news for Radio 1? BBC director general Tony Hall and BBC Trust chairman Lord Patten were up before MPs again this week, this time talking executive pay. Is it reasonable to earn £207,800 a year as a BBC controller while also running your own cafe? Discuss. And finally, the BBC's Great British Bake Off trounced ITV's Champions League coverage this week, cooking up BBC 2's biggest audience in a decade. What's its recipe for success? Plus, Rebecca Nicholson reviews the third series of Homeland, Sky's The Tunnel and Mitchell and Webb's new vehicle, Ambassadors. John PlunkettMaggie BrownJames Robinson
