Roger Bolton with a round up of listener views on the big BBC radio stories of the year.

Following our interview with Sarah Sands, the then-new Editor of the Today programme, we hear from one listener about how she is getting on.

How does Radio 2 and Radio 6 Music strike a balance between too much and too little Christmas music? Jeff Smith, the Editor of Music for both networks explains.

Listeners give their views on BBC radio's Brexit coverage and the direction of The Archers.

Also, we go behind-the-scenes of Farming Today as they record their Christmas feature at a Brussels sprout farm in the Cotswolds. Roger tries out the new sweeter variety in a frosty field.

And we speak to disabled and deaf actors as they prepare for their Christmas performance of The Midwich Cuckoos to be broadcast on Radio 4 on New Year's Eve.

Producer: Kate Dixon A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
