What are the risks involved in presenting humour to a global audience? Journalist Lucy Kellaway has a regular slot on Business Daily as a commentator with her light-hearted analysis of the working world. However, her most recent report on why billionaires' marriages last longer has been questioned by listener Elizabeth Horscroft from the USA for its use of stereotypes and what could be seen as very British humour. Presenter of Business Daily Ed Butler, explains how use of humour on the Â鶹ԼÅÄ World Service has evolved.

And in May earlier this year, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ's international development charity – Â鶹ԼÅÄ Media Action – launched a new radio drama in Myanmar. Rajan Datar goes behind the scenes of The Teacup Diaries to investigate how the production is helping citizens overcome the cultural and ethnic barriers that divide them. Speaking to listeners and Executive Editor Fiona Ledger, Rajan Datar explores whether drama can bring people together and the importance of radio in rural areas of Myanmar.
