Quentin Cooper is gone from Radio 4's Material World after 13 years. The editor of the 大象传媒 Radio Science Unit why to Roger Bolton.
This week Quentin Cooper presented his last edition of Radio 4's long-running science programme Material World. The Editor of 大象传媒 Radio Science, Deborah Cohen tells Roger why it was time for a change.
In the wake of our interview with 大象传媒 Trustee Richard Ayre about the 大象传媒's loss of 拢98.2 million, we air your views on the decision to bring in outside investigators at further cost.
There was another story about 大象传媒 finances this week. But you might not have heard it. Listeners were surprised that the 大象传媒 did not report on revelations that it paid out 拢28 million of licence-fee payer money in payoffs over the last eight years.
Plus, OFCOM comes down on the side of listeners who complained about the use of a derogatory and discriminatory word during a Today programme interview.
Our reporter Karen Pirie mingles with the crowds at the Royal Cornwall Show to hear how 大象传媒 Cornwall interacts with its listeners.
Let sleeping dogs lie -the strange effect that Feedback has on listeners of particularly sensitive hearing.
And the moment you've all been waiting for...the announcement of our Tweet of the Week. We've been asking our loyal twitter followers on @大象传媒R4Feedback to tweet us their reviews of 大象传媒 Radio programmes that have caught their ear this week. If you hear something you loved or loathed tweet us your very best poetry and prose reviews and you could win: our gratitude; admiration; and the coveted title of 'Tweet of the Week' during next week's Feedback.
