Despite international pressure, China is continuing to try and block shortwave broadcasts in parts of Asia. We hear from the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ’s distribution team about how Over To You listeners can help report the problem.
Plus a listener tells us his views on what he sees as an excessive number of repeats on the World Service. And, ahead of a longer interview with the team in a few weeks’ time, we hear listener feedback on Americast.
