Rajan Datar talks to Mark Sandell, the editor of World Have You Say, about a recent edition of the programme which was broadcast from a Christian-run orphanage in Haiti.

A listener complained that it gave a platform for particular religious views in a way that is inappropriate for a current affairs programme – but Mark Sandell strongly disagrees. He defends the content of the broadcast and explains to Rajan how it came about.

Rajan also finds out why the World Service has appointed a writer in residence - from the Director of the English Networks - whose idea it was, and talks to the writer himself, Hamid Ismailov.

He’s a distinguished Uzbek novelist and poet, and he tells Rajan how he plans to interpret his new role.
