The Media Show is a weekly British current affairs radio programme and podcast on BBC Radio 4 which examines the current state of the media. The first episode was broadcast at 13:30 on 1 October 2008 and since May 2017 has been presented by Amol Rajan, the BBC's Media Editor and occasionally by Andrea Catherwood. Until February 2017, when he died, the show was usually presented by Steve Hewlett, a columnist for The Guardian newspaper and visiting Professor of Journalism and Broadcast policy at the University of Salford, although it has also been presented by Emma Barnett, Paddy O'Connell, Ros Atkins, Julian Worricker, and Edward Stourton and Katie Razzell.
