BBC Trending is the show that investigates stories related to online trends, social media, and viral phenomena. We speak to its editor about a recent edition focussing on North Korea - and a listener asks about the programme’s wider editorial remit and why there are not more uplifting news stories?

Plus BBC Sounds has finally been given a date for its turn off - we hear your initial thoughts on its replacement.
