Media Talk: Naughty James Naughtie and the X Factor final
A nation wept into its cornflakes as James Naughtie dropped the C-bomb live on Today, and on this week's Media Talk, John Plunkett's joined by Steve Ackerman and Jane Martinson to discuss this unfortunate case of the Dr Spooners (or was it a Freudian slip?), as well as the rest of the radio news from the past seven days.
Also in the podcast, we look at the runners and riders to take over from Jana Bennett as the new head of BBC Vision, and potential candidates to succeed Danny Cohen at BBC3 after Ben Stephenson ruled himself out of the race.
From there, it's television all the way as we celebrate Coronation Street's 50th birthday; discuss Stacey Solomon's career prospects after she was crowned queen of the jungle; and hear from Peter Dickson – the voice of The X Factor – as we look forward to the grand finale.
Matt Wells is back for our last show of 2010 next week, but in the meantime post your feedback on the blog below.
