Radio 4 has been hijacked by the hectoring Left?

passing bandwagon of right-on topics has been boarded and the woke agenda has been woven into the dramas. I listen to the Today programme in the morning to catch up with the news and that’s my lot.

CAROL S. WILKIE, Cheddar, Somerset. I FIRST listened to Radio 4 when at home with my first child and wanted to listen to adults talking. Forty-five years on and I’m still a fan. These past two years have invigorated Radio 4. Maybe I don’t like everything it offers, but I welcome the fact it’s featuring more contributors from outside London. It has the hallmarks of an eclectic degree course. If I can change, why should I expect Radio 4 to stay the same? It’s a service we should fight to retain. PAULINE LYSEIGHT-JONES,

Iver Heath, Bucks. RADIO 4’s so-called comedy is not funny to anyone beyond the metropolitan woke generation. Too much of its output is uninteresting waffle.

TONY WRAGG, Skelmanthorpe, W. Yorks. MY CONSTANT companion over the decades has been Radio 4. I absorbed the current affairs, comedy and educational output, and relished the breadth and unpredictability of the topics it broached. Sadly, it seems that much of what it now broadcasts aims to guilt trip, re-educate, brainwash and reform white, middle-class listeners. The News Quiz and Woman’s Hour are so woke they’ve almost become parodies. CATHERINE SEWELL,

Solihull, W. Mids. AT ONE time Radio 4 would be on all the time in my car and at home. Now I listen to the news, wincing at the Leftwing bias, and enjoy only a few of its programmes, such as Inside Science. Objective journalism is now toe-curling, subjective opinions presented as fact. Even Lord Blunkett’s beloved Archers has been transformed from a gentle tale of country folk to a cliff-hanging drama. Radio 4 seems to be catering only to the metropolitan elite whose views are so firmly entrenched in the BBC.
