Read this: Coverage of Pope Francis funeral. Radio 3's Music on the Front Line. Our BBC, Our Future.

BBC sounds music Radio podcasts, it's the last week back of the series but that doesn't mean I can't tell the BBC what you think you may already have received the questionnaire asking for your views on the future of the BBC but you've been letting me know what you thought about the coverage of the funeral of Pope Francis and on Radio 3 live wires music on the front line as fired up your interest from early morning on Easter Monday when it was a night supposed to say died that news and coverage of his funeral in Rome has been a major story across the BBC

The Bell Tolls over st.

Peter's Square only Yesterday frail Pope Francis has surprise the Easter crowns by mingling with and blessing them Pope Francis he loves Mozart this popena Harriet had begun with a few Julie ambitious agenda, and not just for change in the church populous like Donald Trump he risked his own safety with visits to conflict zones in Africa and the rock and closer to home he tried to sort out the vatican's Notorious tangled finances.

Even though the Pope was an elderly man who been seriously ill and recent weeks the news was still on the mentis event after the celebrity and Drama of the funeral the thoughts of those in the the wider Catholic church, and the media have turned to what lies ahead will in a minute.

I'll be talking to the BBC religion editor and about the preparations and coverage but some of your comment thank the BBC for the amazing coverage of the Requiem mass and the removal of the Coffin of Pope Francis the commentary was expecting knowledgeable and informative and I'm certainly no other Broadcasting Corporation would have covered it so brilliantly it was wonderful to be able to see the whole mass and to the detailed explanation.

This is Iris War

I'd like to comment on the death of Pope Francis and the subsequent formalities and services including the formal funeral procession and laying of the Pope in his preferred spot.

I thought the British Bake Off professional courageous by research with expert commentary.

Thank you to all involved in the side event hello.

This is Agnes from Glasgow I would like to WBC for the coverage of the funeral Pope Francis it was very much appreciated to have the opportunity to take part in the service the whole team did a great job with a very busy time in Rome BBC religion editor has still find time for feedback so alien firstly.

Thank you very much indeed for this as many of the comments from listeners to feedback.

I've been complementary about the radio coverage words like knowledgeable prayers for the detailed explanations.

Obviously you've known for some time.

The late Pope was unwell, but I wondered just how much preparation you and the team.

I've been able to do before the news of his death was lovely to hear those comments of course we knew he was a man of 88.

He had various complications in terms of his health over recent years.

So you know what I became religion editor at 3 years ago.

It came along with a lot of other things in this brief one of those things.

I knew I had to get a cross through it quickly read an awful.

Lot about the Pope slide background.

Yes, obviously I have been looking into all of that for the past 3 years but certainly when the pope went to hospital at Minster Hospital a couple of months ago and things were touching go for a while it brought things into sharp Focus and so to some extent.

We we got I suppose things in place.

Just as the Catholic church.

Adjust is open self dead in many ways of course the tone is so important that looks like this for some listeners.

This is such an emotional spiritual and profoundly sad occasion and of course Brothers it's just a news story.

So how do you go about getting that balance? This wasn't about it.

Just being a religious event you just had to look at the audience to see that.

You know the people who are invited to the funeral themselves.

We had presidents became President Trump having a surprise meeting inside st.

Peter's Basilica before it happened.

So when those things are happening around you know I don't think we need a great deal of convincing to our our audience that this was more than that something that they should just care about if they were Catholic or if they were religious.

This was a glow.

Find going on here and yes, we also had to reflect all that was the day as a funeral we had to reflect something of what was going on within the Catholic Church Street deal of division through Pope Francis papacy that he did have his critics, but there's a way of doing that with any respectful way giving a disabled TV station is interesting that you brought that up because one of our listeners said they were very offended because they were morning at the passing of an amazing caring man and did all the BBC want to talk about was It scandal.

No, this is not the day they said and yet of course there were others who would be pulled if you were to report on Pope Francis and the Catholic church more broadly without mentioning.

It's many controversies.

I mean Pope Francis himself.

Didn't shy away from those things through his life those with the things that he came out.

Trying to take her head on and so if we did talk about the ways in which for example traditionalist felt the Pope Francis went a little too far in terms of its outreach outreach to people on the peripheries of the Catholic world and an outreach to be outside the faith.

There was some of those who felt there was some traditional as he felt he was somehow compromising faith by doing that but in terms of you know his track record and the things he chose to focus our little that's scandal.

I mean things like financial scandals or abuse scandals those things that Pope Francis was very open about and talked about from the very beginning of his papacy.

I mean it was a characteristic of the baby.

See that you had a pope who would very regularly meet abuse victims he undertook in tyre for road trips.

On some occasions just to say sorry to to victims.

I went on one of those trips.

I went to Canada where he was just going to say sorry this was this was Pope Francis story it wasn't about focusing on scandal, because it was I don't know something juicy to talk about this was this was part of the record of his papacy of course for many years even those with no affiliation to the Catholic church, the next chapter holds a lot of interest you're all of those of us who have read conclave will know how much intrigue politics may be taking place behind closed doors Cardinals choose the next Pope I suppose there's a balance to in the way that you cover that there are only two rules for someone been chosen programme about X Catholic and they need to be male so it could be an awful.

Lot of people more often than not it is a cardinal that likely to choose one of their own.

130 Cardinals who I'm doing a great deal of research at the moment because it could be any of them and I think this time more than any other it is hugely unprotect.

There's a lot of work going on right now at well.

Love reading well into the Night by me certainly try and get across all of the profiles of the possible candidate to come out on top good luck with all that research and we look forward to the next chapter Ali MacGraw religion editor of the BBC thank you so much for joining us some feedback.

It was scheduled on Radio 4 The Wire from some when a special service on Sunday morning a funeral mass for Pope Francis from Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral was followed by a witness history of about the history of the supermarket trolley something some commented would never have happened with the program witness history as so recently replaced from Eileen Francis

I regret the loss of a point of view on Sunday morning very much the programming used to be highly appropriate Sunday for the by news followed by Worship and then a point of you couldn't be more inappropriate a requiem mass for Pope Francis followed by witness the history of the shopping trolley something more malevolent was trying to challenge their religiosity we have all been engaged with over the weekend or was it just thought this and the lack of attention by those in charge of radio for hello my name is Mike and I live in Oxford I have to say that my usual start to Sundays with Radio 4 at this tidily uncomfortable when asked the most programming.

I find myself listening to something about shopping trolleys.

Just as a mass in memory of Pope Francis finished this juxtaposition ing.

Do not sit.

With me and it reminded me wholeheartedly of missing the point of view from my Sunday morning routine, but the BBC centres their statements about the schedule is the funeral of Pope Francis was extensively covered across the BBC including on Radio 4 The Radio 4 schedule covers a range of programming to meet a variety of different listeners in I need across today and Sunday schedule balanced religion and ethics programming with a usual mix of news and current affairs history drama comedy and more the past few weeks quite a few of you have been getting in touch about Radio 3 music on the front line with Clive myrie.

In it Clive talks too.

So generous about the music they listen to whilst reporting from areas of war and Conflict welcome to a new series of music on the front line where I'm chatting with fellow journalist about the music that help them in some of the most challenging of circumstance.

On the road with me is the ever inspirational Bridget Kendall in Nottingham the interview by Clive myrie of his former colleagues the Ostrich of the Antarctic College of Music especially for those who lost their job find themselves in very troubling circumstances, I remember I was sent to Benghazi Libya for 3-weeks to cover the Libyan Civil War this was all part of the so-called Arab Spring and I played a lot of back during my time there it really kept saying he told with great clarity of the comfort that music off and composed of several centuries earlier brought her in times of extreme danger.

This was a gender of a program and this unseen malevolence lucky all the time so turning to music like bar.

Was really important to me at that point.

Hi, my name is Jenny human, and I'm coming from Twickenham in South West London and love the first series of music on the front line.

So changing again to hear Clive talking to Bridget Kendall term life on the road, and he was first dizzy on radio reporter covering the collapse of the Soviet Union and travelling on her own to incredibly dangerous places like in pursuit of The Story music with soothing in those hostile environments Pachelbel's Canon against the backdrop of perestroika and Swan Lake which Associates broadcast to Callum the Masters to win that came on as to against Gorbachev in 1991.

She knew there was a full-scale emergency and then before long.

They were tanks on the streets and this one tank park outside the bridge.

Where are our office was we had a full-scale emergency great insights for the personal and professional.

pioneering female foreign, Correspondents

My name is Marian green, and I live in the West Country apart from the war stories and selves.

It's so inspiring to hear as a bravery and courage to keep reporting when there's so little appetite For Change and the Politics of the world or in man's capacity for atrocity.

It's a privilege to hear the correspondence speak candidly if their own suffering and sense of importance and made such devastating life changes in themselves and with me is the BBC's former defence Moscow Germany Paris and religious affairs correspondent and now on Radio 4 Caroline Wyatt slips into the conversation with Caroline Wyatt that she lived with undiagnosed MS multiple sclerosis for whilst on the road Caroline throughout the stellar career.

You have been dealing with illness and certainly carrying the weight of something being wrong, but you're not entirely sure what that is how difficult was that I'm in.

Ways actually all of that was made easier by going away on assignment where it was the only thing you had to deal with was the story in front of you and finding voices right people to talk to and Sedona maccullins.

Episode implies that one has to be dissociated most of the time to do the job when he says information does kitchen and you do week because you feel you are there to record something you know in the first place isn't I had to understand the rules of War my personal dilemma my my purpose and my feelings and you know and you know I do a casually I think I heard you say it the other day that emotion.

Kicks in and you do weep you wait because you you feel you're there to record something you know in the first place is right, but music it momentarily gives you freezing sometimes if I'm driving my car and I hear something I have to pull over get a lay-by and hear that music.

I feel in a way music is saved a lot of people's at kind of mental state.

I think it's actually giving them help ISO mahler's fifth symphony.

This is a really wonderful piece of music.

It's good perhaps in Paris is to be reminded what it is to be human to be reminded what love and courage and action can by step outside of our preoccupation with a parochialism of the Self

Thank you so much to you Clive myrie, and all of those of you involved in crafting these episodes.

How many thanks to Marion Jenny and Ian for those thoughts and Radio 3 music on line is available on BBC signs until the last week in may have also been happy to hear your suggestions over the last few weeks for our annual feedback interview of the Year award your nominations from any BBC radio programme podcast will be considered by our judges.

My name is Bob Bradley from Cardiff South Wales and I felt I have to comment on the inspiration of interview that I heard on BBC4 Cathy hope programme yesterday.

Burden interview Tim the name jovino McLean was unknown to me now.

I won't forget it bro Goosebumps to my body and tears to my eyes when he described as a cricket coach invited a wheelchair-bound onlooker to hold a bath in his hand and witness the immense joy in his face as he did it will be more over to the centre of the I give him a hand when I give him a back right to join his face.

It was like with my little boy when he picks up his PlayStation 5 controller and I'll give him the at the local joiners.

Ponty Valley skills then from that point to where you are now because you run this amazing Jim forward to create energy play something that's what I always believe in and had some people don't buy channel believe that if you can somebody or a person of an environment creates energy instantly it spreads like Wildfire so I wanted to create a place where my energy will start the flame and everyone else will catch it and before you know it is just a room full of where no one touching each other one was looking at the girls over there with the bits out the guys over there with the tops off.

It's does a Place full of love.

Please do let me know or if you want to get in touch anything had on BBC audio the easiest way to do that is to send a voice note on WhatsApp the number is 0343 444 5004 you can ring that number and leave a voice message the number again 0345 and you can send an email to feedback at bbc.co.uk and it's at BBC R4 feedback on social media.

I wonder if you had this trail to know what you think because the BBC

Belongs to all of us, you might have already received an email asking you to complete a questionnaire.

It's all part of what the BBC is calling its biggest-ever public engagement exercise Sean Hargreaves wasn't sure what to make of it.

Could you please let me know if the attached email is a scam or from the BBC thank you.

I Sean and anyone else you might have looked at the email in your inbox twice by opening it.

It is not a scam over the past couple of weeks.

Do you see a can't hold us have begun to receive the email its title is your opinion matters to the BBC there's a message from director-general Tim Davie inviting us all to have our say and then you have to log into your BBC account and fill in the questionnaire which is broadly about what would all like from the BBC but I talked to professor Matt Walsh head of Cardiff University journalism school on feedback this time last year when Tim Davie and a £10 rise in the licence fee.

The father round of cuts of around 200 million pounds to tidy up with a budget that shrunk by 30% in real terms over a decade or the director general at that also said the BBC with launch the biggest public engagement exercise in the corporations history and know that it's finally here here also is that Walsh again? Thanks for the feedback the burning question have you actually received your email yet? Well, I have filled in the survey.

I didn't actually get the email to me, but I went looking for it.

So I have built-in.

It's quite an interesting survey as a 7 questions that I asked you to put in all multiple choice asking you what sort of things you want from the BBC what the BBC should stand for in the future and watch it watch it should be doing so all about the pub purposes the BBC and then there's a little bit at the end of a little text box you can fill in as well and write you any extra thought that you think are important to to convey as part of the public consultation exercise.

Dancing the BBC says, I will just read it here the rbbc our future questionnaire kicks off a conversation with the public about the future of the BBC head of coming review of the corporations royal charter which sets the BBC's mission and public partners that BBC charter is up for renewal in 2027 and many have heard of the BBC's charger that about charter renewal but for many who don't spend their lives looking at all of this.

What does that actually mean that who renews the charger and what is it, so easy charter.

Is is the agreement really that underpins the existence of the BBC is renewed every 10 years over 10-years a big consultation exercise that takes place that looks at the principles and purpose of the government wants to the BBC to do and there's a lot to public consultation that goes around this this exercise it leads to lots of debate and lots of.

Giving evidence to Parliament about what the future the BBC is w w auto services it should be offering that's all then debated in Parliament in Westminster but also in the in the parliament as well to all of those a look at the the the elements of that are being considered for the BBC and then there's a final final document was published everybody agrees to it.

Hopefully and is given and the purposes of the BBC and then set for the following 10 years the way that it's been designed around areas with multiple choice questions.

There's only one box at the end.

We can actually a comment and according to listener at Stephen Layton that's just not big has anyone received an email from the BBC asking you to complete a questionnaire on what do you want the BBC offer what we do well and what could we do better there wasn't enough room for the comments feedback listers often tell me how they feel BBC bosses don't engage.

The listeners they don't consult and when they do they don't pay attention to the answers the could be some scepticism that this is just a PR exercise this series has been a record number of comments about favourite programs disappearing changes to network stations and the future of BBC signs overseas, and there's still a lot of anger about local radio Devon Pontefract centre, but she wrote in that comment section of her BBC question I completed the BBC survey highlights in The Importance pallikal news and a local radio station farm in our community and what is going on in our local area as well as out whether and local sports and provides of accurate and impartial and nation news.com radio stations all we have is social media and gossip and rumours.

BBC do with the comment like that this may be why the questionnaire has been framed in the way that looks forward because really the BBC isn't going to change anything that is done in the past because of this is it no I mean I think there's no doubt that the BBC is looking quite hard at how which service is going to be delivered and whether or not certain parts of IT Services now need wound down and then one of those areas, but there will be looked at quite closely is going to be the linear broadcast channels as we look ahead to the middle of the century.

There's no doubt that we going to be receiving more news justly.

We're going to be receiving more personalised news and use that design for us to consume.

It where and when we want to they may no longer linear broadcast channels as we have known that must be grown up prof not wolfshead or Cardiff universities journalism School thank you know of course.

I want somebody from the

To come onto feedback and talk about the RBC our future engagement process nobody was available at the time.

They sent this statement the next couple of years will decide the future of the UC and we want audiences at home to have a emailing 40 million BBC account holders across the UK and asking them what they want the BBC to offer what would you well and what we could do better including across that audio services like Radio 4 BBC account holders can look out for the email or fill out a short questionnaire website bbc.co.uk well, that's all from feedback for this week and indeed for this series.

I'll be back again later in June of course.

You can still get in touch with us but for now from me and the team here.

Thank you so much for listening and giving us your feedback.
