BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Week, Ernie ReaClose menu

Ernie Rea chooses his BBC Radio highlights.

Ernie Rea presents the best of BBC radio in the past week in Pick of the Week - some big questions feature in his selections. Now that the Hillsborough Inquest has delivered its damning verdict, did the fact that it was specifically Liverpool fans who died affect the narrative of blame? What will happen to society if, as predicted, many of the babies born today live to be 120? Has Google, the world's biggest Search Engine, become so powerful that it can make or break your business? And on the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's death, why do Supreme Court judges in America stage a Shakespeare play every year.

Production team Kevin Mousley & Kay Bishton.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
