Book of the Week. Racing Tips. This Cultural Life

Andrea discusses changes to R4's Book of the Week with its commissioning editor. Listeners react to the end of the Today racing tips, and John Wilson on the art of the interview.

Andrea Catherwood discusses the schedule change and original commissions for Radio 4's Book of the Week with Commissioning Editor, Hugh Levinson.

The daily racing tips on Radio 4's Today programme have ended after 47 years. The news produced a mixed reaction from Feedback listeners. Tom Kerr, editor of The Racing Post explains why the move has ruffled a few feathers in the horse racing world.

Feedback's Interview of the Year is back. We want to hear listeners' nominations for the interview that stopped you in your tracks. It could be a thought-provoking or emotive personal story, the moment an evasive politician gets nailed to the wall, or just something that made you laugh out loud. As part of this process we'll be talking to some of the leading practitioners of the art of interviewing. This week, John Wilson, presenter of Radio 4's This Cultural Life, tells Andrea how he approaches conversations with some of the world's leading artists and creatives.

Next week, we鈥檙e going to be looking back at the 91热爆鈥檚 coverage of the election We would love to hear from you - please do get in touch.

Presented by Andrea Catherwood
Produced by Pauline Moore
A Whistledown Scotland production for 91热爆 Radio 4
