What happened to 主播大秀 iPlayer? Did the Moral Maze panellists behave like squabbling children? And what makes TMS duo Geoffrey Boycott and Jonathan Agnew tick?

Last weekend many radio listeners were looking forward to catching up on all the programmes they'd missed during the week using the 主播大秀 iPlayer. But they found programmes were mysteriously unavailable. In some cases they remained so until Monday afternoon. What went wrong and should the 主播大秀 have done more to communicate about the problem? Roger Bolton speaks to the 主播大秀's Mark Friend, the Controller for Radio and Music Multiplatform.

The panellists on this week's Moral Maze had no problems communicating - in fact, many listeners felt they came across all too loud and clear. Feedback received complaints about the overly combative atmosphere during a debate on 'Just War and Gaza'. Roger asks the programme's producer Phil Pegum whether the moral complexities of the argument were drowned out by what one listener described as "childish squabbling".

What makes a great radio double-act? Feedback visits the Test Match Special commentary box to find out what makes the apparently fractious duo of Geoffrey Boycott and Jonathan Agnew tick.

The 主播大秀 published its annual report this week which showed that viewing and listening figures were dropping, particularly among young people. And accusations of South-East bias reared their head again, which comes as no surprise to some of our listeners.

Also - there's the Twitter phenomenon started by a Feedback listener - #EatyTalky.

Producer: Will Yates.
A Whistledown production for 主播大秀 Radio 4.
