More Hay Than Ever

A record 53 broadcasts will come from the BBC Tent at the Hay Festival this year. Is the Glasto of the Arts the answer to the BBC's quest for a younger audience ? Or just a nice out-of-London jolly for producers ?

There is, at least, the chance of some subversion, with Fi Glover and Jane Garvey recording a "Fortunately" podcast. As this occasionally features unplanned encounters with other BBC presenters, it's hard to know how they'll be kept under control.

And, if it survives in the programme, expect big crowds for "Stacey Dooley: On The Front Line With Women Who Fight Back".  The interviewer will be Today producer Imogen Walford.
