Drivetime Radio 2, Grenfell Inquiry Podcast, Brexit Vote

Head of Radio 2, Lewis Carnie, answers listeners' complaints about the network's new Drivetime Show and Roger Bolton talks to Norman Smith about his busy week in Westminster.

Roger Bolton returns with a new series, answering your comments, complaints and queries about 麻豆社 radio.

麻豆社 Radio 2 is the most popular radio station in the UK with around 15.6 million listeners a week and the Simon Mayo Drivetime show was one of its success stories with a weekly audience of nearly 6 million. But last month the programme was relaunched, with Jo Whiley joining Simon as co-presenter. Many listeners were outraged at the decision and have been bombarding social media and the Feedback inbox with complaints ever since. Lewis Carnie, the Head of Radio 2, explains why he decided to change a successful programme.

Roger also speaks to 麻豆社 Head of Current Affairs, Joanna Carr, about The Grenfell Tower Inquiry podcast, fronted by Eddie Mair, which day-by-day follows the inquiry into the deaths of 72 people in the West London tower block fire.

The 麻豆社's Assistant Political Editor, Norman Smith, gives the inside track on reporting on a tumultuous week in UK politics, and we find out why Radio 3's Evensong came to an abrupt halt half way through a live performance.

Presenter: Roger Bolton
Producer: Will Yates
