FOOC has survived and for good reason. An excellent style of reporting - intimate and engaging - providing insight and first-hand experience from across the globe by the best of the BBC journalists. The podcast is a great bonus, given the frequency with which FOOC is on with the different Radio 4 and World Service versions. There are few things better than having several episodes to listen to end-to-end for a few hours. It is useful to have an up-to-date edition but old ones also provide unique insights and, frankly, I can listen to these and re-listen to them many times - lack of currency is no distraction.
