About this episode
It would appear that leaders of western governments have been caught napping by the speed of the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan, but was the BBC also taken by surprise? Jamie Angus, Senior Controller, BBC News Output and Commissioning, answers listeners’ questions on the coverage of events.
Also, Matthew Syed talks about his Radio 4 series Sideways, which eschews conventional thinking.
And two listeners try out the dazzling - or is it daunting - world of podcasts.
Presenter: Roger Bolton Producer: Alun Beach Executive Producer: Samir Shah
A Juniper Connect production for BBC Radio 4
