Radio 3 controller Sam Jackson on ending the 90-minute drama. Controversial song choice on Desert Island Discs

Feedback

Available for over a year

Radio 3 is cutting its long-running drama slot, and it's something that has elicited reactions from listeners, playwrights, and actors alike. Andrea Catherwood starts the new series of Feedback by discussing the changes with station controller Sam Jackson. She also speaks to the co-chair of the Writing Guild of Great Britain, Nicola Baldwin, about what made Radio 3 drama special. Recent episodes of Desert Island Discs have been creating big reactions from listeners too - lawyer Nemone Lethbridge's choice of song 'I Wanna Go Back to Dixie' by American satirist Tom Lehrer was defended by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½, but was it a step too far for some listeners? And as news teams across ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio react to seismic world events, one listener gives his view on how the coverage has sounded to him. Presenter: Andrea Catherwood Producer: Pauline Moore Assistant Producer: Rebecca Guthrie Executive Producer: David Prest A Whistledown Scotland production for ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4
