Was the 大象传媒's coverage of the seventieth anniversary of the Dresden bombings too one-sided? And why did the 大象传媒 decide to air graphic audio of the Copenhagen shooting?
The allied bombing of Dresden was one of the most controversial episodes of the Second World War - but was Radio 4's coverage of the 70th Anniversary too one-sided? The editor of Radio 4's Today programme, Jamie Angus, discusses how the 大象传媒 reflected on this historic event with a senior lecturer in War and Media at King's College London, Dr Peter Busch.
And the story behind how the 大象传媒 obtained a startling piece of audio from the shootings in Copenhagen. Toby Castle was duty editor in the 大象传媒 Newsroom at the time and he talks to Roger Bolton about why he decided the shocking audio could be put on air.
Also, an epic tale of endurance and self-sacrifice - listeners tell us how they managed to hear ten hours of War and Peace in one sitting.
