BBC Radio 4 - Feedback, Westminster coverage, the end of Midweek and the editor of The Archers

Westminster coverage, the end of Midweek and the editor of The Archers.

BBC News respond to listeners' comments about the Westminster coverage, it's farewell to Midweek and questions are raised about reporting of the anti-Brexit march.

Roger Bolton puts listener questions about coverage of the Westminster attack by Khalid Masood, to the Deputy Editor of BBC News, Toby Castle. 

And Roger reports from the Nations and Regions Media Conference in Salford on the important BBC radio headlines from the event. While there, he talks with the Editor of The Archers, Huw Kennair-Jones. Huw answers listener questions on all manner of subjects from sex and fruity language, to whether he wants to run another Helen and Rob-style hard-hitting subject in the near future. 

Also this week, some listeners wonder whether the BBC has been too cowed by criticism from MPs to report sufficiently impartially on the recent Unite for Europe march. And there's a fond farewell to BBC Radio 4's Midweek programme after 35 years.


Presenter: Roger Bolton
Producer: Katherine Godfrey.
A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.

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