On October 1970, Joan Yorke hosted the first ever edition of You and Yours on Radio 4. Now Radio 4 Controller Mohit Bakaya has put the slot out to tender, looking for "timely, ear-catching information on, and scrutiny of, every aspect of the economy as it impinges on the life of citizens. "
(You and Yours, introduced under Controller Tony Whitby, aggregated an number of existing programmes with equally gripping titles - Can I Help You ?, Money Matters, Listening Post, In Practice, Parents and Children, and the seminal You and Your Money)
If you can knock something up for £8k an hour including presenter fees, get in touch, as they say. You get the full hour on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday they want the same magazine format, but for half an hour, to be followed by something they can re-use as a 25 minute podcast. Lord knows what we're going to get on Fridays.
