Audience comment. The Radio 2 Controller meets your criticisms head on, Roger Bolton talks quotas for women journalists with the head of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Newsroom, and Plugwatch returns.

Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 2 has just announced record audience figures, but is the network satisfying all its listeners? Following changes to Sunday Half Hour, a new presenter for the Folk programme and a clutch of technical difficulties, Roger Bolton puts your concerns to Controller Bob Shennan.

Also, Roger speaks to the Head of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Newsroom, Mary Hockaday, to get her views on the story that won't go away - the gender imbalance on air. With other major broadcasters signing up to a pledge to give female presenters, correspondents and experts at least 30% of the airtime, we ask if there should be a quota of women in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ news.

Aye Aye Cap'n! Plugwatch is back. You've been on the lookout for book plugs across Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio.

Producer: Kate Taylor
A Whistledown production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4.
