Staff at Reach went on strike on Wednesday, condemning poor pay and high pressure workloads. Meanwhile discontent brews over at Broadcasting House - could BBC journalists be next on the picket lines?


Old and new media alike are feeling the squeeze as Snap scales back - what does a restructure mean for the social media company?


Plus, Dino Sofos and Lewis Goodall share their big plans for The News Agents podcast.


Also on the programme: Justice by podcast? Our guests assess the impact of true crime podcast The Teacher's Pet in the Chris Dawson murder trial.


And in the media quiz, we’ll find out who’s been in under the spotlight for botches and blunders.
