Andrea Catherwood hears your views on coverage of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran, and talks to Sarah Montague about a recent interview with Sebastian Gorka.

Feedback returns for a new series, just as the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has its hands full with covering an increasingly tense conflict between Israel and Iran. We hear your response to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4's reporting of events.

Last month, Sarah Montague interviewed Sebastian Gorka - President Trump's deputy assistant and senior director for counter-terrorism - on World At One. It provoked a flood of emails in our inbox. Andrea talks to Sarah about handling fiery interviews, and interviewees. Dr Alban Webb, historian and lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at the University of Sussex, gives his view on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s approach to these kinds of interviews - which seem to be increasingly common.

And an episode of This Cultural Life, in which John Wilson spoke to pianist and campaigner James Rhodes, also moved a number of listeners to get in touch nominating it for Feedback's Interview of the Year.
