How to Make the UK Election Interesting to the World
Political correspondent Rob Watson, answer listeners’ questions around making UK election coverage interesting to the rest of the world.
When reporting on the UK General Elections, Rob Watson, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service’s UK political correspondent is always wearing his global hat, but it is not always easy to make one country’s interests relevant to all. This week, Rajan Datar asks Rob how he keeps his coverage interesting and listeners from Spain and Brazil have queries around how political language and colloquial expressions translate across the world.
Also, Strangers for Hire is a documentary about people in Japan who rent friends for a variety of different reasons. Nina Robinson’s insight into this new trend has listeners from America, Singapore and New Zealand getting in touch.
