Talk back to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ and challenge the programme makers. This week Rajan Datar looks into history's political "idiots" and lifeline programming for Pakistan.
This week on Over To You, Rajan Datar and two listeners quiz presenter John Sweeney about Useful Idiots, his recent two-part documentary. The listeners complained about his definition of an idiot, and about what they perceive as a lack of balance in the programmes - and John fights back.
Rajan also talks to Allan Little about a recent contribution he made to From Our Own Correspondent – in response to a complaint not about what he said but what he didn’t say.
And he hears about information as aid – the new lifeline programming designed to help the flood-hit regions of Pakistan.
That’s on Over To You with Rajan Datar on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service.
