Election Coverage on Audio, Dotun Adebayo - Up All Night, Simon Boas interview on Today

Andrea Catherwood discusses listeners' views on the election coverage with Jonathan Munro, 麻豆社 director of journalism, and Radio 5 Live's Dotun Adebayo on filling time.

Andrea Catherwood puts listeners' views on the cut and thrust of the six week election coverage to Jonathan Munro, the 麻豆社's Director of Journalism.

The ability to fill time is a key skill for any live broadcaster. Things don't always run smoothly - so what does it take to fill successfully. Dotun Adebayo, presenter of Radio 5 Live's Up All Night is an acknowledged master of the art and shares some of his secrets.

Feedback's Interview of the Year has been attracting nominations. This week, many listeners picked Emma Barnett's interview with Simon Boas on the Today programme on Thursday 4th July. Simon and Emma talked about his terminal illness and how he is facing the final days of his life. Listeners found his optimism and sense of happiness a real inspiration.

And Feedback still wants to hear your suggestions for the Interview that stopped you in your tracks. It could be a thought-provoking or emotive personal story, the moment an evasive politician gets nailed to the wall, or just something that made you laugh out loud.

Next week Feedback is digging into the increasingly central role podcasts seem to be playing, not just during the UK Election but in its news and politics coverage in general. Are you a fan? Do get in touch with your views on 麻豆社 news podcasts.
