Show Notes

The controller of Radio 4 Gwyneth Williams takes questions directly from listeners on her recently announced plans to shake-up the schedule. Listeners tackle her on the controversial decision to cut afternoon readings from three to just one a week from next April.

She also defends the axing of On The Ropes and The Choice and explains why more news is needed at lunchtime.

Andy Parfitt, the controller of Radio 1 tells Roger Bolton why he is leaving the station after 13 years at the helm. And this summer, Radio 3 is making every one of its Proms concerts available in high definition. But will the sound quality be that much better?

Contact the Feedback team to let Roger know what you'd like him to tackle this series about anything you've heard on BBC radio.

Producer: Karen Pirie A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
