Radio 3 controller Sam Jackson on ending the 90-minute drama. Controversial song choice on Desert Island Discs
Andrea Catherwood speaks to Radio 3 controller Sam Jackson about cuts to drama, and listeners react to a controversial song choice on Desert Island Discs.
Radio 3 is cutting its long-running drama slot, and it's something that has elicited reactions from listeners, playwrights, and actors alike. Andrea Catherwood starts the new series of Feedback by discussing the changes with station controller Sam Jackson. She also speaks to the co-chair of the Writing Guild of Great Britain, Nicola Baldwin, about what made Radio 3 drama special.
Recent episodes of Desert Island Discs have been creating big reactions from listeners too - lawyer Nemone Lethbridge's choice of song 'I Wanna Go Back to Dixie' by American satirist Tom Lehrer was defended by the 91热爆, but was it a step too far for some listeners?
And as news teams across 91热爆 Radio react to seismic world events, one listener gives his view on how the coverage has sounded to him.
