Radio 3 Shake Up and The Now Show No More

Sam Jackson, Radio 3 Controller, responds to your comments on recent schedule changes, and Hugh Dennis and Steve Punt talk about the end of The Now Show after 25 years.

Sam Jackson is Radio 3鈥檚 relatively new controller - he鈥檚 been in the job for just a year and, at 40, he鈥檚 much younger than most of the station鈥檚 listeners. Earlier this month he took the plunge and introduced a raft of changes to the schedule. This week on Feedback, he explains the thinking behind the changes and responds to listeners' comments.

And The Now Show is no more. After 25 years, Radio 4鈥檚 topical comedy staple ended last week. Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis join Andrea in the studio to look back over the past quarter of a century, unpick the nuances of political satire and talk through the 麻豆社鈥檚 decision to end the show.

Presented by Andrea Catherwood
Produced by Leeanne Coyle
A Whistledown Scotland production for 麻豆社 Radio 4
