Roger Bolton visits 成人快手 Belfast to look at coverage of recent violence, plus surprising statistics on gender imbalance, and a listener challenges a 成人快手 Director on book plugging.
The 成人快手 is a commercial free zone so why do so many guests on 成人快手 radio shows always seem to be plugging something? One Feedback listener tackles the 成人快手's Director of Editorial Policy and Standards, David Jordan, on the issue.
And are there enough female voices on the radio? Many of you don't think so. Earlier this week Radio 4 controller Gwyneth Williams acknowledged criticism that certain programmes were skewed overwhelmingly towards men. You highlight some of the worst offenders.
Also, how should 成人快手 Radio deal with discussion of suicide? We hear your feedback on Will Self's controversial A Point of View, "Terminal Thoughts", and discuss it with the editor of the programme.
And Roger travels to the 成人快手 Belfast newsroom as trouble returns to the streets.
