What I suspect people will remember (if they notice/remember anything) is the BBC telling the truth and then being bullied for it. And the starting point is they trust the BBC a lot more than the bullies (Trump, the right wing press, the Tories, Farage).

Lisa Nandy has a tremendous opportunity to do some good here. My personal preference is Robbie Gibb's head on a pike as a warning to others but I'll accept other reforms

Jazz is very good on France Musique. I listen to two daily hour long jazz podcasts.

I listen to France Musique a bit and it is so much better than radio 3.
