Episode description

Ramadan has featured prominently in The Archers in recent weeks with stalwart Lynda Snell joining the Malik family in fasting, and some listeners found the storyline unconvincing, even a bit preachy. Andrea speaks with Dr Cara Courage, co-founder of The Academic Archers.

Radio 4’s Today programme interview with Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick provoked a flurry of comments on the presenter’s line of questioning. We hear your views.

After Newscast, Americast and Ukrainecast, now there’s Scotcast! Andrea meets presenter Martin Geissler to find out how it’s covering Scottish news.

And listeners are responding in droves to the announcement BBC Sounds will soon no longer be available outside the UK.

Presenter: Andrea Catherwood Producer: Pauline Moore Executive Producer: David Prest

A Whistledown Scotland production for Radio 4
