RAJAR Week, Celebrity Traitors & What's Next for Kay Burley?

In the club today: it’s RAJARs week - analyst Adam Bowie is here to run the numbers for the radio industry.

Also on the programme: as the BBC celebrates record viewing figures for The Traitors... what can we expect from the celebrity version? Megan Carver (Carver PR) reveals the runners and riders.

All that, plus: The Sun’s rebuilding its paywall... and, in The Media Quiz, we say farewell to some big names (for now) including Kay Burley and Richard McKerrow.

That’s all happening in this edition of The Media Club. Come on in!
