Jarvis Cocker turns out the lights and takes Feedback backstage for a classical version of Wireless Nights. And iPlayer now gives you 30 days to catch up on your favourite radio.

Good news. You now have 30 day to catch up on radio programmes using iPlayer. Andrew Scott, the General Manager of radio and music for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Future Media joins Roger Bolton to discuss the changes.

Musician, writer, broadcaster - Jarvis Cocker can seemingly turn his hand to anything. But can he combine his intimate late-night delivery of Radio 4 programme Wireless Nights with the full force of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic Orchestra? Kate Taylor takes us behind the scenes at the rehearsal to meet Jarvis along with the Wireless Nights producer Laurence Grissell and the General Manager of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Philharmonic, Simon Webb.

The battle for the 12 o'clock slot on Radio 4 continues. You and Yours listeners are still reeling from losing a quarter of the consumer affairs programme each day to make space for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Front, Radio 4's landmark 500-part drama about the First World War. But while Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Front is taking a break there's a new series called '21st Century Mythologies' in its place. Every day Peter Conrad focuses on a different example of popular culture - including Nando's, Apple computers and the Kardashians - echoing the French semiotician Roland Barthes' Mythologies 60 years earlier. Clever cultural commentary? Some listeners are not convinced.

And listeners react to an item on Today in which Sarah Montagu interviewed a woman who had married herself.

Produced by Will Yates
A Whistledown production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4.
