There are many good episodes in this series. The organ harvesters was particularly good and if you are new to this podcast, this is a very good place to start.

Used to be an always-listen, but some recent programmes disappointing. Example, the most recent on cults - a great subject - focued too much on the presenter herself, and also did not answer key points - ie what law was used to ensure the girl was removed from the mother -was is related to what...Read full review »

I’m from Canada, so a lot of the news doesn’t matter to me, but it’s so refreshing to hear good journalism, with solutions or progress as the theme. Seems like all we get is a down hill spiral of left winged nonsense or Facebook news.

This used to be a must-listen, but in 2020-21 it has become bland schedule padding for Radio 4. Such a shame. It has lost its way: from the weird new logo reminiscent of Greece’s Golden Dawn neo-Nazis—red, white, & black colours and a maze pattern from which you can assemble at least five...Read full review »

Excellently researched and produced documentaries from Radio 4. These are thought-provoking and always worth listening to.

The episode on the Panama Papers was by far the best explanation of the scandal I have heard or read, and every episode of this investigative program is eye opening and instructive. Brilliant.

Radio 4 has three podcasts I would recommend, File On 4, The Report and Analysis. I would describe this as the radio version of Panorama or Despatches each week a different subject and always informative.

Great series.
Lipper1907 via Apple Podcasts · Ireland · 10/04/11
This is a great investigative show. They get right into the middle of each topic and confront the people who are at the centre of whats happening, sometimes quite forcefully. Excellent radio. For an international audience it is allot of the time about very personal English issues, so doesn't...Read full review »

Please please please and please once more, can the BBC please get its act together with podcasts? This one never comes with a description in the file name, so you don't know what it's actually about! Sort it out BBC!Read full review »

File on 4 is investigative reporting at its best. Have been listening to their reports for months now and haven't heard a bad one yet. Definitely download. Always gives food for thought.Read full review »

Haven't listened because I've no idea whether I'm interested or not. Give us some info here on the itunes page for 'File on4', please. What's it about? Who presents it? Is it a daily show, weekly or something else?Read full review »
