BBC Radio 4 - iPM, Defending plastic

Luke Jones and Eddie Mair present the news programme that starts with its listeners. One of iPM's correspondents defends plastics.

With people's attention well and truly focused on cutting down the amount of plastics we use, a listener puts the case forward for the much maligned material.

Mariella Frostrup reads Your News. Plus we hear from a listener who set up a vineyard in South Africa, despite knowing nothing about making wine. Will that be the location of the iPM outside broadcast? 

iPM is the news programme that starts with its listeners. Email ipm@bbc.co.uk. Twitter: @BBCiPM. Presented by Luke Jones and Eddie Mair. Produced by Cat Farnsworth.

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