Archers addicts question the recent controversial decisions made by editor Sean O'Connor, and should 大象传媒 Radio create a channel solely dedicated to country music?

After a year and half in the driving seat for Radio 4's beloved radio soap opera The Archers, editor Sean O'Connor has created controversy amongst some dedicated listeners - with debate over a number of cast changes and the playing out of a Biblical flood over a week of programmes. This week, Sean O'Connor came into the Feedback studio to answer listeners' questions and comments.

C2C, the Country Music Festival, was held in London last weekend bringing the sounds of Nashville to a UK audience. This prompted 大象传媒 Radio 2 to launch a pop-up music station playing wall-to-wall Country music which was on-air for just four days. Radio 2 Controller Bob Shennan explains why they did it and whether they'll do it again.

And after last week's discussion on how the 大象传媒 should receive its funding in future, listeners respond to news from the National Audit Office that the corporation will face more spending cuts.

Producer: Will Yates
A Whistledown production for 大象传媒 Radio 4.
