  • Fail to play

    Reported six years ago that - Far too many ‘programme temporarily unavailable’ warnings.

    Nothing has changed. Sounds and iplayer still in a state of disarray.

  • Lack of Impartiality in Reporting on Genocide

    I have been frustrated with the lack of depth and coverage regarding on what is happening in Israel/Palestine and turning more and more to better alternatives. I am relieved it is now public and I won’t be listening to a show by an organisation, that seems to support genocide. For that reason I certainly cannot trust the BBC’s reporting on anything anymore.
