About this episode
Are there some subjects radio comedy programmes should steer clear of? For example, the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
The BBC executive in charge of both The News Quiz and The Now Show Julia McKenzie explains why those topical comedies sought to use humour as the prism for this dreadful tragedy.
Roger Bolton also examines the commercial logic behind the BBC’s decision to restrict access to its podcasts.
And the Out Of Your Comfort Zone listeners discuss the merits of a Radio 4 docudrama.
Presenter: Roger Bolton Producer: Kate Dixon Executive Producer: Samir Shah
A Juniper Connect production for BBC Radio 4
