Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trustee Elan Closs Stephens on why listeners' views matter, plus a behind-the-scenes tour of Radio 4's 600-part series Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Front.

What do you really think of Radios 4 and 5 and their extra bits? The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Trust wants listeners' input for a major review it's conducting. But will your views change anything? Trustee Elan Closs Stephens tells Roger Bolton why reviews like this matter.

Radio 4's World War 1 drama Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Front is set to run for four years and a total of approximately 600 episodes. Roger goes on a behind-the-scenes tour of the epic production and puts listeners' questions talks to the series editor Jessica Droomgoole and producer Lucy Collingwood.

Jarvis Cocker took the Radio 4 audience back to primary school with his Archive on 4 on the well-loved programme "Singing Together". It was a weekly broadcast that started in 1939 and quickly became a treasured musical memory. But most of the broadcasts have been lost. We hear from Feedback listener Christopher Goodman who has succeeded where the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ failed - in saving a little bit of our musical heritage for posterity.

And Archers Addicts question the point of a radio drama where the actors' voices are far too similar.

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