Nolan Padcast -BBC R4 Feedback

[LizzieSiddal]

I caught the end of R4s “Feedback” programme last night and heard Roger Bolton say next week they will be talking about the Nolan Podcast “Stonewall”. I’m not sure how this will be done, sometimes they seem to just have two guests in the studio talking about a programme, other times they read out various differing opinions, listeners have sent in.
I was wondering if anyone might feel the need to contact Feedback and let them know what they thought of this podcast?

Thanks for posting

Thanks for posting, I heard this too. Posted on another thread about it. Roger Bolton said he would be speaking with Stephen Nolan and David Thompson about their podcast. They often have callers on the show too, so let them know your views ahead of time by email, phone call or text.

You can also comment at any time about any aspect of the BBC's coverage of this or any other issue.

The show goes out on Fridays at 4.30 pm and is repeated on Sundays, so this one will be on Fri 5th Nov.

Here we go, Feedback is about to start on Radio 4. Should be interesting.

came here to flag this up, anyone else listening ?

The programme started with a trail for the segment by referring to "the LGBT lobby group Stonewall" and then went on to say "a position that isn't supported by UK law". Ahh, great.

The comments are very strongly in support of the Nolan and Thompson programme.

Nolan and Thompson are now up.

Remember that Feedback isn't made by the BBC but is made by an outside production company.

Roger Bolton, presenter: "we expected to receive criticism but we've only received praise".

interesting that they've received only praise, no complaints for the podcast

Great!

They are saying they have never had as much praise as they have for their Stonewall series. And not much criticism!

I love these guys! Really sticking it to Stonewall!

"The CEO of Pink News was unable to tell us what some of these terms meant."

This is even better than the podcast!

Nolan: "The fact that the BBC hasn't answered the questions doesn't make the questions go away."

Thompson: "The main question is did Stonewall influence the BBC's editorial?"

This is brilliant.

Clear, calm, sensible and honest.

The segment is the first 10 minutes of the programme. Essential listening.

It's the way in which Nolan speaks positively of both the BBC and Stonewall and then expresses disappointment at their evasions that's so damning.

Just been listening - good stuff - and shining more light, plus possibly encouraging yet more people to listen to the podcasts. All good.

This does feel like a watershed.

v damning of the BBC

I've been watching for the 'turning tide' for years now and had almost given up hope, but it genuinely does feel as though something has shifted in the last few weeks.

I could scarcely believe I was hearing this on a mainstream BBC radio programme.

There's a loose end mentioned in the Feedback programme. The BBC has a hit programme on its hands, widely acclaimed, but only available as a podcast. If this was any other programme we all know it would be repackaged as a series and broadcast on Radio 4.

Agree, excellent and will hopefully get more people listening.

I don't think most TRAs know about feedback . Bless.

It illustrates that these people really do live their lives online and so in a bubble.

Many complained to the bbc about Nolan and the article about coercing lesbians because Twitter told them to.
