Roger Bolton's first podcast. Did the BBC get the coverage of the Queen's death right?

After over 50 years in broadcasting, and being fired twice by the BBC, Roger Bolton will cast a very independent eye on the public service broadcaster. No views will be censored, no question go unasked. Whether you care about, or are frustrated by, the BBC, this is the podcast for you. Whether you love or loathe the BBC this is the podcast for you.Roger Bolton, formerly presenter of BBC Radio 4's 'Feedback' launches his very first podcast. Free from the constraints of broadcasting on the BBC, with a few more opinions and casting his net a little bit wider to encompass the whole of the BBC, Roger examines the issues that are facing the corporation. As the BBC receives complaints about the lack of a republican point of view during the coverage of the Queen’s death, Roger has tea with a group of neighbours to gauge their reactions to the BBC's coverage and talks to Richard Ayre a former BBC Trust board member who was put in charge of planning the coverage for a Royal death 40 years ago. Did they already have any plans in place?  Richard Ayre also talks about the challenges the BBC faces and the impact the financial squeeze has on its services. "The BBC has been saying ever since I was a kid that it was strapped for cash. It’s now visible. It’s visible what’s happening on screen, on radio and online". Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
