How From Our Own Correspondent keeps audiences engaged. Plus the impact of BBC job cuts.

It is a format that has remained deceptively simple for 65 years. Jasper Corbett, editor of From Our Own Correspondent, explains what makes the programme so appealing to the World Service international audience, why he welcomes contributions from listeners and answers their questions.
Plus the BBCs director of News and Current Affairs, Fran Unsworth, tells us what impact the loss of a large number of jobs across the BBC might have on the World Service.
