In this first episode back following an... eventful summer for media, the team discusses six topics you might have missed over the past month:

• Facebook goes to war with Australian publishers

• Amid many magazine closures, some green shoots emerge

• Vulture attempts to create a vertical around podcast criticism

• Which global megacorp deserves your support, Apple or Epic?

• Vogue business and the unstoppable rise of reader revenue plays (at least until they stop working)

• Ecommerce booms - but can publishers take advantage of it?

Guest starring the planes that flew an inch over Chris' flat.
