Should Radio 4's The News Quiz and The Now Show have steered clear of the war in Ukraine? Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ executive Julia McKenzie defends the decision to include the conflict in the shows.

Are there some subjects radio comedy programmes should steer clear of? For example, the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ executive in charge of both The News Quiz and The Now Show Julia McKenzie explains why those topical comedies sought to use humour as the prism for this dreadful tragedy.

Roger Bolton also examines the commercial logic behind the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s decision to restrict access to its podcasts.

And the Out Of Your Comfort Zone listeners discuss the merits of a Radio 4 docudrama.
