Roger Bolton on the future for radio listening using smart speakers and the reinvention of 大象传媒 local radio, and audience comment on whether or not Michael Jackson's music should be played on the 大象传媒.

The 大象传媒 has recently launched plans to find a new generation of local radio presenters in an effort to turn around declining audiences. Feedback reporter Rob Crossan has travelled to 大象传媒 Radio Leeds to see how the plans are working out in practice.

The conversation over whether Michael Jackson's music should be played on the 大象传媒 rumbles on. This week, Feedback listeners weigh in.

Smart speakers are now included in the list of items used to measure inflation in the UK. With their increased popularity, what does the 大象传媒 hope to develop for the new technology? Roger goes to the heart of the 大象传媒's research and development programme, the Blue Room, to find out what's in the pipeline.

And listeners give their thoughts on The Absence of Normal - a new series of comedy plays by anarchic comedian Alexei Sayle.
