Last Word selection criteria, how Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ presenters handle Middle East interviews, and Archers Podcast launch

Andrea Catherwood hears listeners' views on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's coverage of the Middle East, and finds out about the editorial thinking behind who is featured on Radio 4's Last Word.

In the first episode of the new series, former producer Neil George explains the selection criteria behind Radio 4's obit show Last Word. Suzanne Franks, professor of journalism at City St George's, University of London, helps navigate issues of impartiality when interviewing representatives of opposing sides in the Middle East conflict. And as a new Archers podcast is launched, listeners react to an on-air slip from presenter Emma Freud.
