Hardeep Singh Kohli's first kiss, music and speech. Presented by Roger Bolton.

Hardeep Singh Kohli's first kiss, music and speech and a BBC Hindi fan on the loss of shortwave. Presented by Roger Bolton.

Roger Bolton turns up at Hardeep Singh Kohli's flat to ask some personal questions - including who gave him his first kiss?

At the end of this month, millions of fans of the BBC Hindi Service will no longer be able to listen on shortwave. Roger speaks to Rifat Jawaid, editor of language programmes at the BBC Asian Network, about his Indian family's passion for the service.

And many of you have trouble understanding speech when it's accompanied by background music. So why do producers persist in using it? Roger quizzes Simon Elmes the BBC's Creative Director, Features & Documentaries and others, on the subject.


Producer: Karen Pirie
A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
