Radio 4

The audience response programme presented by Andrea Catherwood. More cuts have been announced for BBC Radio - this time, it's the archive repeats station Radio 4 Extra that is set to close. Listeners have contacted Feedback with their opinions on the plan. Matthew Parris - journalist, ex-politician, and longtime presenter of Great Lives on Radio 4 - has recently taken his last bow presenting the biographical programme. For two decades he's welcomed celebrities into the studio to discuss the lives of prominent figures they admire, and now he joins Andrea for a discussion about his standout moments, and what the series' future might look like. And finally we hear from two listeners - Audrey and Jason - on the topic of a recent documentary series for the Understand strand on BBC Radio 4, called All Kinds of Minds. The series took a look at language of neurodiversity, and then went on to explore the experiences of neurodiverse people through childhood and adulthood. Presenter Nathan Filer joins Andrea to respond to the points raise by Audrey and Jason.
