Forum for comments, queries, criticisms and congratulations. Roger Bolton discusses the future of local radio, plus are some subjects too personal for broadcast?

Have you ever listened to the radio and felt that what you were hearing was too private for broadcast?

In the first of the new series of Feedback, Roger is joined by a group of programme makers to discuss how they tread the line between gripping radio - and exploitation. Editor Philip Sellars discusses Radio 4's recent series The Trouble with Kane, which follows the treatment of a twelve year old boy arrested for cannabis possession. Editor Louisa Compton talks about Victoria Derbyshire's 5Live broadcast from an abortion clinic. And Foreign Correspondent Mike Thomson describes a harrowing interview with a woman who had suffered greatly at the hands of rebel Rwandan soldiers.

As the 主播大秀's Delivering Quality First plans are finally approved, Feedback listener Andy Boddington asks the managing editor of his local station, 主播大秀 Radio Shropshire, what impact the cuts will have.

And we hear a plea for restraint in the face of the Jubilee jamboree.

Presenter: Roger Bolton

Producer: Kate Taylor
A Whistledown Production for 主播大秀 Radio 4.
