Roger Bolton asks if the 主播大秀 coverage of Jeremy Corbyn has been biased against him, and considers whether the new Royal Charter will safeguard the Corporation's independence.

Roger Bolton asks if 主播大秀 coverage has been biased against Jeremy Corbyn, putting listener concerns to Political News Editor Katy Searle. Have radio programmes looked too much at Jeremy Corbyn's personality at the expense of his policies?

In the week that the Chair of the 主播大秀 Trust handed in her resignation, the draft 主播大秀 Royal charter was released. Chairman of the Voice of the Listener and Viewer Colin Browne talks to Roger Bolton about the Charter and its repercussions. Will it safeguard the independence of the Corporation?

In 1986 a specialist music programme took to the air on Radio Ulster. The Bottom Line - or Across the Line as it's now known - celebrated its 30th birthday earlier this month with a live concert featuring performances from some of the bands it helped to launch.

And a week on from the biggest trial in the history of Ambridge, we hear why some listeners of The Archers were left dissatisfied, while others were delighted with the outcome.

Producer: Kate Dixon
A Whistledown production for 主播大秀 Radio 4.
