大象传媒

Roger Bolton with listener views on 大象传媒 radio. This week, the 大象传媒 World Service has made an unprecedented complaint to the UN, a drama divides the audience for its treatment of immigration and Brexit, the 大象传媒 puts a brake on plans to abandon FM transmitters and Fi Glover's emotional documentary.

According to a complaint the 大象传媒 has registered with the UN, Iran has been harassing the families of 大象传媒 Persia journalists. The Director of the 大象传媒 World Service Group, Jamie Angus, sits down with Roger to discuss the grounds for complaint, what the 大象传媒 hopes the UN will do and the broader questions of impartiality and soft power facing the World Service.

In The Expressing Room, Fi Glover heard the stories of mothers as they expressed milk for their premature or sick babies in the neonatal unit of St. Thomas' Evelina hospital. Many listeners contacting the Feedback inbox were overcome by these women's powerful stories. Fi and Roger discuss the challenges of making such a sensitive documentary.

The 大象传媒's Director of Radio Bob Shennan has given a speech addressing the future of radio in the internet age. He dropped in a key detail - the 大象传媒 is no longer in a hurry to turn off FM transmitters and switch to DAB. We hear from listeners who welcome the decision, and radio futurologist James Cridland helps Roger pick over the speech in more detail.

And, an episode of The Ferryhill Philiosophers addressed questions of refugees and immigration. While some loved it, others thought it was patronising and anti-Brexit. Roger hears a selection of audience views.
