Comedy on Radio 4 have once again jam the feedback inbox following on from last interview with the BBC executive who decided to put it there earlier this week asking why the Chancellor of the Exchequer statement from Downing Street short on the and two listeners enter of the Xbox to talk about the relatively new podcast radical with a more Rajan Today programme start for the big interview of the morning it often sets today and it was no different last Tuesday morning, OK actually.
It was a little bit different if you don't often have a Live press conference coming.
Morning Street at that time the Chancellor is about to in the next couple of minutes make a speech in Downing Street's I'm just looking at the Sea now the wood panelled briefing room number 9 inside Downing Street election set-up ready let the message on there is always key.
I think the big takeaway and that Reeves strong foundations secure future and they're to Union flag flying it as we wait for Rachel Reeves to all Some Might Say I was just a few weeks to go until the Chancellors budget.
It's perfectly understandable that today cut live at peace event she has to say he's a chance as budgets as chancellor of the exchequer at that.
I will make the choice is necessary to deliver strong foundations for Alex after around 5-minutes today fadelite.
Rachel Reeves and talk to Nick watt Newsnight political editor.
He was going to continue listening high energy prices unstable condition.
Vital business investment in skills and that is the chance of Rachel Reeves speaking in Downing Street at the moment at Nick watt Newsnight political editor is with that you're gonna continue listening to this when we get the 2 labour MPs but I think those first headlines that we heard there.
She was talking about economic mismanagement financial black holes Liz truss as many budget got a mention.
It is clear where her positioning is go.
Yes, I mean Anna what this is essentially about is a shock and leaving the Live press conference didn't please some listeners Vincent Davey Campbell I was appalled on Tuesday 4th of November when the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves was making an important and unusual speech regarding the forthcoming budget.
We were allowed to listen to only a few minutes on the day.
We were then treated to the opinions of a presenter and political commentator making comments and assumptions and what they felt the Chancellor of said.
Without any of us here in the entire speech it says resources.
They needed to get a punch through that they've been doing this pitch rolling for a few months.
My name is Mark Jones Lancashire I wanted to listen to The Chancellors budget speech on the Today programme this morning.
She wasn't into the speech more than a couple of minutes when she was cut and the commentators were invited to comment on a speech a couple of minutes.
So what's the point of this is deliberate doing at this time of the morning show the very very difficult choices that she is expected to make in just over 3 weeks time and you literally heard it in the first.
You say my name is Philip Riley and I'm from Mirfield West Yorkshire in about the Chancellors budget message was handle this morning 4th of November on the Today programme after just a couple of minutes the decision was taken to cut away and as pundits to come.
What she said so far instead of allowing us to listen to what the Nation's finance minister actually had to say we were obliged to listen to interpretation before she had actually deliver in the message.
I found this extremely irritating and frankly somewhat ridiculous journalism.
We can listen to pundits anytime what I wanted to hear was what the hell was planning for a budget which will very much impact my family I can understand a cutaway if a speech is extremely long.
It was just a few minutes and have major consequences if you saying it's unusual to have a live political speech going on at this time of the morning if you would do it continue listening to that for us and we'll check in just a second in the meantime will get the thoughts of to Labour and a program.
Why are they called away from the speech before it ended they sent this statement as this was a pre budget speech which did not include policy decisions.
Focus on summarising the speech for our listeners while providing live as it happened analysis and reaction through interviews so that listeners would have greater understanding of the options facing the transfer now if you'd like to comment on anything you've heard on any of the BBC radio station signs podcast please do get in touch the simplest way to do that is to send a voice note using WhatsApp the number 0333 444 5004 when you can ring the same number and leave a voice message.

I interviewed Julia McKenzie Radio 4 commissioning editor of comedy.
Entertainment about the series called Jonathan pie, which was in the 6:30 comedy slots, it's edited versions of would have been broadcast 2 years ago and put out at 11 p.m.
On radio the full unedited version is on BBC sounds.
Just in case you're curious to have a listen but you have been warned.
It's not what was broadcast on Radio 4 episodes that listeners totally inappropriate to be broadcast at tea time on Radio 4.
They're called online and women are not surprisingly feedback has been swamped with a mix of comments since the end of last week the clear majority of listeners.
Still think that the episodes should not have been broadcast at 6:30 although there were some listeners who agreed with the commissioners decisions.
My name is Louisa I live in London I cannot be the only listening screaming at the radio at the moment upper tone-deaf response the commissioner of Jonathan Pie as she discusses her decision to transmit at 6:30 p.m.
Thank you Andrea for giving her the challenge that you did but she joins the endless list of radio for staff interviewed on feedback who he refused to admit that they may have got it wrong from Colwyn Bay this Radio 4 and I've never before felt moved to write feedback.
I am sorry to hear that you are wrong.
Jonathan pie has undisputable Mary not at 6:30.
I'm sorry the fact is young children around at 6:30 at Home in the car as a friend's house TV has a long-established 9 p.m.
Radio should have the same have a reasonable expectation that they can leave the room or turn the radio on in the car in the knowledge that their children are likely to be exposed to such material fine, but 6:30 really come on Julia it's not necessary.
It's not negotiable.
It's inappropriate.
My name is Linda Holmes and I live in.
In Essex I have just listened to Julia McKenzie defending The scheduling of Jonathan pie at 6:30 p.m.
And belittle in the number of children who may be listening heated brush of the foul language because Jonathan pie gets his comeuppance at the end of the program.
I don't think many children will be considering the morality of call is to his managing to change his mind by the end of the program what they will very clearly have heard will have been the explicit language miss Mackenzie strong defensive the program showed very little Grace understanding that maybe she just got it wrong sometimes sorry is a good response children on sitting in the kitchen or in the car at 6:30 p.m.
Does that mean children young people and not allowed to listen absolutely ridiculous but as I mention not everyone has been negative about what you make some business who contacted feedback after the interview agreed with her decision and we're happy to discover call Jonathan pie in that comedy slot Hills Cheshire just listen to the generally negative feedback.
You have received about this program and would like to redress the balance of it my husband and I love this program funny.
Lot of depth it can feel a bit uncomfortable at times then these are uncomfortable issues and we shy away from them too often.
I understand that some people might not care for the language.
That's a matter of taste in terms of the timing we would not have heard this at all.
If it had not been in the 630 slot so we would have missed it all together.
It's a great show.
Please hello my name is Phil and I'm calling from Random mine in Carmarthenshire I'm 74 years old and I've never felt strongly enough to contact the BBC about anything previously I feel obliged to express.
How strong is that was the views of those listeners contacted feedback to complain about call Jonathan pie is by far the sun is the most intelligent comedy series in a long while I know considered Tom Walker comedy genius there were several laugh-out-loud moments which is something I sell them to and the friends to whom.
I recommended the show the same way I suppose the argument made by some complaints regarding the time of broadcast might have some mattress.
I disagree work as clever challenging and this disease prime time in my opinion.
I know it's an old cliche but there is always the off switch for those who disagree well done Radio 4.
It was a brave move and you should be.
For it girl but from Banbury I'm 73 and cannot tell you how much I love Jonathan pie new 6:30 p.m.
And brilliantly funny.
I listen to BBC sounds language makes me laugh swearing seem so natural edited for the 630 slot is suitable for a family dinner table runner project supporting unpaid family carers by having a volunteer to do with the person I care for a usually with dementia, so I need a good it is the best comedy of ever listen to on Radio 4 so keep Jonathan pie from West London I personally loved something across cauldrons, and I will listen live.
From work I struggle to engage with podcast so discover much of my documentaries and entertainment via radio for something so smart bold and entertaining on the comedy slot albeit with some security foul language is a fantastic show I really hope he doesn't shy away from pushing boundaries and social norms allowed bring it shows that this to reach as wide an audience as possible.
Hi Peter David Cooper from South Wales well done to Julia McKenzie interview on last week's program when being asked about the Jonathan pie on the evening slot is an excellent but hard from Andrea she stuck to her argument and it's the decision as well.
Well done to her and the team for deciding to air an excellent program on a slot where it will get rate disability business.
From Harlow Essex I'm a regular Radio 4 listening and also listen to radio 576 years roll and follow can't say I was surprised when I said I didn't listen to all of the recommended programs.
I thought her comment said Jonathan Austin god is good.
And then we received this comment from Simon in Great Torrington in Devon to listen to feedback last Thursday and later that evening tuned into call Jonathan pie.
The episode was called comedy earliest the interview with the commissioner of Jonathan pie for the 6:30 Thursday comedy slot my mouth is opening shops throughout the whole what seems self-justification for allowing offensive language and subjects as a time when families listen.
Did you say mini skulls number of teenagers who listen just my kids listen every night, but I have just heard the 6:30 Jonathan pie episode on cancel culture.
It was so brilliant and you wants to buy my teenage kids to listen to a finely crafted discourse on taking comedy past any subjective offensive line.
I'm sure that was sick with them for the rest of their life.
So as for the commissioner well, thank you.
I know my kids would not have heard it if you hadn't stood on at that time.
What are tough balancing at your face questions about the number of children exposed to or listening to Radio 4 at 6:30 and we'll questioning the statistic used by Julian that nine out of ten highest listening at that time do not have school age children.
Don't listen to radio for 6:30 was very worried about households with children and dismissed any children is not worth considering grandparents and grandchildren the thought of any family children children.
The time is depressing Sarah Foster from Kent listen to your interview with the comedy commissioning Julia McKenzie and I'm contacting the BBC for the first as a result because of the way she made me feel as if she was not taking on any of the listeners feedback.
I am in all my life.
I'm now in an apparent as the content that they listen to I was there for really quite sad.
I'm by the dismissive tone that the comedy commissioner took towards children listening to Radio 4 describe them before then so children listen to Radio 4.
1 under 18 and 10% as much as I wonder if it's an insignificant, I should encourage them to the programme about call Jonathan pie and 103 complaints that have been made to Radio 4.
I was deeply shocked responsible for putting the program on discounted 10% of the potential audience twice that less than 10% of the audience at 6:30 p.m.
Radio 4 on to have sexualized content on the show wasn't sufficient but even if it had been the nature of households will be that the morning might not as many of you raise the question about the percentage of school-age children listening at that time and also the size of the audience at 6:30.
We are BBC to clarify this but we did a bit of our own digging on young people listening at this time on Thursday Tim Harford from more or less when you need and it would appear that radio listeners aged 10 years and over but generally only listeners aged 15 years and over a published all radio stations have access to this data source.
Orator who don't give out information on specific stations are scheduling just time slots also did say that if you look at 10 to 14-year olds for Radio 4 between 6:30 and 7 p.m.
On a Thursday the data shows that virtually no listening within that age group the BBC also gave us this statement to the 6:30 p.m.
For overwhelm nearly adults according to raise your data 9 and 10 listeners to this lot are in homes.
That don't have any children under 15 even and homes and children under 15 the address for only very sore numbers of children that actually listening to Radio 4 during this time slot as a predominantly adult radio station.
Are you for looks to give that audience adult program at the times when they are listening in large numbers each other side of call Jonathan pie inclusive warning for listeners about language and content with the strongest language from the original podcast version.
Is it out for this 6:30 p.m.
Broadcast earlier in the year I spoke to Sam Bonham ABC senior news editor in a feedback podcast special he was excited about one of the new podcasts in there today stable radical presented by amol Rajan thinkers from the world's of politics tech education and more ideas to help you in the words of the podcast blurb win the future so we invited to listers Abby and Claire to give their thoughts on the part in our feedback box box and asked if it's as radical as it claims to be another so I may be friendly I live in Stoke Newington in London and I'm a leadership coach and a consultant.
Hi, I'm clearly don't ever London I live in Richmond South West London and I'm in Urban Planning specialising in healthy Communities hello and welcome to radical with a mirage and these are conversations about the day.
Global trends redefining this crazy error in human history and the radical ideas that you need in order to win the future when I sort of the word radical and I really like the way it is not just finding somebody disagrees.
Whether we like just think he disagrees with he said she finding people who are radical in terms of their ideas and whatever there in dancing it which is in Old Media counter controlled by the certainly radical to the mainstream and he's talking to them and he's challenging them, but it's not he's not looking for a fight and and I really quite like about it values that comes across is that he feels strongly about having a space for differing opinions or text but at the same time.
I think he who brings on is quite created because I was thinking about this.
I think that he does ultimately sort of respect and revere his the different.
Do you get onto the podcast Turkey to Derry Armagh day for example of entropy cos this is trying to change the world and I just thought it was it was such an interesting podcast I have a particular anyway.
You really get an interview like that with anybody it sounds like the radical idea.
You think I need right now is simply the smart and effective regulation that a lot of voters with think is their basic right absolutely absolutely you know I think we live in a bottle and Silicon Valley where are you going to talk to people and sort of course like you know.
It's slowed everything down and you know there's nothing to be to that idea right.
There's not that you can tell.
He's always smiling when he's in an audio that you can tell that he's genuinely engaged and genuinely curious.
That's the other words.
I really want to throw out.
He demonstrated Express is curiosity.
Is there is a third of a red Thread the also runs through so it seems like the importance of you know unity over what it is to bring people together over putting the part.
I didn't die sort of run through regardless of who he speaking to as well.
Even if one week.
He's speaking to a Marxist and one week.
He's speaking to quote on quote strictest headmistress in Britain this generation and for the children in front of us.
Otherwise they will not be able to make the success of their own knowledge term treat learning is better than child because because you get more knowledge.
I think he does I mean I'm going to the one with the headteacher and then without and I found my level of Engagement with very very different in both of those and I thought someone was kinda.
Got to I wondered how many people held on as it can a level?
PhD almost level does Peter singers view of marks that one if it's yours is at Marks was better at description then prescription recipe for the cook shops of the future and she's really sassy and she's you know she's so evidence-based so I mean it goes to a different move to some kind of University Challenge thing that you do some kind of something or other people at the facts right something you said I was just waiting on the game kind of your lovely phrasing and your lovely face when you said that you prize knowledge, and I say that instantly the idea prize and knowledge means a great deal to me like a different person with her.
He was a little bit less secure with a shark or maybe it's because it was completely change my perspective.
Which I think is a testament to the strength of how you manage is it you know how I know engaged with the homeless has changed for example as a result of one of the Podcast episode so when as Sabrina cohen-hatton talked about you know look actually you know when people ask me you know whether to give money to people on the street and also she said you know what the what's the most helpful thing.
I can what's the most valuable she talked about how the Money often doesn't check all down there quickly, so you know my motor Soprano before it always been to give to charities.
You know to give to shelter investing homeless charities and that shifted now actually if I see somebody really I need to see I will know if I can and if I have changed all that you know I will give them some money and everything which is even more Potent I think she said one of the most valuable things you can do if you meet somebody is homeless as you can ask their name which is what?
Listening to this should do when they walk past or I can fronted by homeless person the most powerful thing that someone can do was to stop look me in the eye ask me my name ask me how I was asked me if I needed anything I mean it every talks about one episode that made her change your thinking about you know this potentially collectively having the potential to make people think he's a big compelling ideas that are often play hiding in Plain Sight you know some of the things are talking about feel very like human truths that just because the tires have been living with quite a lot of baby has been thrown out with quite a lot of bath water and sometimes.
It isn't always about things that I feel extreme.
It's like.
Oh yes, you know that what does look like if we explore that and and bring it bring it back.
So you know I think so much of our century has been defined by the new that we always have to think of radical has been something very very new.
Good afternoon, you know the whole etymology of the word radical being about the route.
You know I think that's a really interesting about getting to the root of things were.
Thank you too Abby friendly and Claire Del Mar going into the feedback box box to share your thoughts on the radical podcast with Emily Raj and which you can of course here on BBC signs and keep sending feedback your thoughts on what you here on radio and BBC signs and don't forget to send in your nominations for interview of the Year you've already given us some strong contenders and there will be a shortlist and a panel of feedback listeners will choose the night before Christmas but there's still time to send choice so if you do hear an interview that you think is deserving of the Accolade interview of the year then, please.
Let me know but for now that's all.
Thank you very much for listening and giving us your feedback goodbye.
