WHYS has won a Sony Radio Academy Award in GOLD

We are pleased to announce that World Have Your Say has topped the tables in this year’s ‘Listener Participation’ category at the Sony Radio Academy Awards. A huge thank you to all those who have contributed to the programme in the past. You continue to make WHYS what it is and we couldn’t have pulled it off without you.

Talking Points for 13 May

Your Night Editor is Laura in Minneapolis. We’re looking for stories and issues that warrant their own discussion on air on Tuesday or on the blog right away. Take it away Laura…

First a big congrats to the WHYS team – and all of us :)- for the gold award! It’s great you’ve been recognized for the extremely good work you do!

Secondly, i’m thrilled to be moderating the blog tonight. I’m totally open to whatever people would like to discuss.

A topic I’ve been thinking about lately: Is “Feminist” the new F-word?

Like I said, please bring other things to discuss as well!

On air: Is is time to get aid into Burma – with or without permission?

We’re off air now. But you can still email your viewpoint to worldhaveyoursay@bbc.co.uk or leave your comment on this very blog.

Talking Points May 12

The pictures that are coming through from Burma over the weekend are incredibly shocking and disturbing.  I know a few people who decided to send donations after reading this report in the Guardian.
