Week in review podcast: Egypt, football’s millions and Sky Atlantic

Jonathan Freedland has Riazat Butt and Jon Henley in the studio for another instalment of the Week in review . The panel begin by discussing the 10 days of violence in Egypt that’s left the country on the brink. How will the revolution taking place before our very eyes affect the region – and a watching world? Middle East editor Ian Black shares his thoughts. Also in the podcast, we talk lies, damn lies, and botched statistics. David Schneider gives his take on the much-vaunted police crime map, which crashed shortly after its launch. Plus, with hundreds of millions spent in the final days of English football’s transfer window – we wonder whether the pampered millionaires of the Premier League will remain forever insulated from the economic chill. Finally, the Guardian’s resident HBO expert Steve Busfield gives us the skinny on Boardwalk Empire as we try to tackle the question tormenting Guardianistas everywhere: It could be the greatest TV channel of all time, but is it worth selling your liberal soul to Rupert Murdoch to get Sky Atlantic?
