Audience comment. The Radio 2 Controller meets your criticisms head on, Roger Bolton talks quotas for women journalists with the head of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Newsroom, and Plugwatch returns.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 2 has just announced record audience figures, but is the network satisfying all its listeners? Following changes to Sunday Half Hour, a new presenter for the Folk programme and a clutch of technical difficulties, Roger Bolton puts your concerns to Controller Bob Shennan.

Also, Roger speaks to the Head of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Newsroom, Mary Hockaday, to get her views on the story that won't go away - the gender imbalance on air. With other major broadcasters signing up to a pledge to give female presenters, correspondents and experts at least 30% of the airtime, we ask if there should be a quota of women in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ news.

Aye Aye Cap'n! Plugwatch is back. You've been on the lookout for book plugs across ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio.

Producer: Kate Taylor
A Whistledown production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4.
