The 大象传媒's Norman Smith looks back at a tumultuous few months covering UK politics, listeners react to the week's revelations about 大象传媒 salaries, and Clive Anderson has an Open Mic.

As parliament starts the summer recess, the 大象传媒's assistant political editor Norman Smith looks back at a tumultuous few months in Westminster, talking with Roger Bolton about the challenges of working under intense scrutiny and accusations of bias from MPs and on social media.

This week, the 大象传媒 released its annual report, including the names and wage brackets of 96 of its on-air talent who are all paid over 150 thousand pounds a year. Licence fee payers give us their thoughts on presenter pay.

In last week's programme, we discussed listener complaints about an exceptionally graphic story in Bridget Kendall's Cold War: Stories from the Big Freeze. To make sense of the discussion, Feedback chose to re-broadcast the clip. Were we right to do so? Listeners share their differing views on the issue.

Finally, Roger continues his series of Open Mic interviews with prominent 大象传媒 presenters. This week, he's joined by Clive Anderson of Loose Ends and Unreliable Evidence. Has Clive's notoriously sharp-edged humour mellowed over time?

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