BBC Radio 4 - Pick of the Year, Pick of the Year 2021

Clive Myrie and Marianna Spring choose the best of BBC audio from 2021.

The world is full of unpopular opinions and unpopular people with opinions. We have those, alongside clips from across the BBC, telling the story of yet another unpredictable and remarkable year. 
From the insurgence on the American Capitol on January the Sixth to the newest wave of COVID maintaining a tenacious grip on all our lives. We revisit one of the first cases of internet shaming and examine the impact of online communities. 
All our stories tell us something about the past 12 months, but also who is controlling the information we receive. 
Join Marianna Spring & Clive Myrie for this year's Pick of the Year.
