BBC Radio 4 - Feedback, 26/07/2013

Royal baby - did BBC News go OTT? Meet the Dropout Tsar. And the guardian of radio sound.

Too much speculation, not enough news? Listeners' views on the royal birth coverage. Plus drop in on the Dropout Tsar. And who is the most important person in the radio studio?

Radio 4's forum for comments, queries, criticisms and congratulations.

George Alexander Louis is not yet a week old and already his name is known around the world, thanks in no small part to the BBC's coverage of the royal birth. But was it all a bit too much? Many of you think the BBC went baby mad.

Operation Dropout mobilises as Roger Bolton meets the man who looks into those awkward silences caused by technological failure - the BBC's Technology Controller for Journalism, Andy Bocking.

And while the controller sits on-high, we meet one of those on the front line - senior studio manager Bob Nettles. Feedback spends the day with Bob and puts listeners' audio queries to one of the best pairs of ears in the business.

Also, the emotional power of radio drama. We hear from the listener who was left dumbfounded by Nick Warburton's afternoon drama Irongate.

And we're looking for your questions, comments, and queries about this year's Proms. We'll be talking to the Director of the Proms, Roger Wright, who is also the Controller of BBC Radio 3, in a future edition of Feedback. So do send us your thoughts.

Producer: Will Yates
A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
