Description

It's been an intense year for the BBC: budget cuts, a series of staff departures and redundancies, accusations of bias… and now, it has a hawkish new culture secretary to contend with.

How will the BBC look and sound for future generations?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
