    We're back! Sorry it has been so long but we're here to rinse the fur off journalism's teeth and ask the question - are you a dick? Lyra McKee of media news aggregation site MediaGazer wrote this blogpost condemning some journalists, especially those in tech of being dicks, abusing their position and acting bigger than the story. This prompted plenty of conversation. We discuss if it's true and what it means for journalists starting out. You may not be a dick but Tom Watson MP sort of is. Following the release of his book "Dial M for Murdoch" he was accused by former News of the World reporter Neville Thurlbeck of quoting off the record conversations between them. As of now (Tuesday 24 April 2012 9:04 BST) he hasn't responded... And app of the week is a little different this week as Jo talks about his own project, liveblogging software Ocqur. Stay fresh!

    Media Mouthwash is back after a Christmas hiatus! The Guardian's iPad app was met with a mixed reaction when it launched in October 2011. Many loved the beautiful design, others were confused by the 'static' edition model they used to package it. Our guest this week is Martin Belam of the Guardian's UX (user experience) team. He talks us through the rationale behind the design of the app and the different ways people consume news. All this and our regular features!

    This week we're back with a slightly shorter, leaner podcast that still manages to cram in plenty of media discussion and analysis. We're talking news design - taking apart the Independent's new makeover, speaking to Grig Davidovitz, CEO of RGB Media, as well as the usual items Gaffe and App of the fortnight. Corrections: Grig Davidovitz was editor of Haaretz websites. He is an expert in journalism and new media, not design.
