    Comments: In a time when our cultural lives are being squeezed to death, we continue to look to the Beeb for support for writers, readers, listeners. Please please please continue your support for the short story and other literature, undiluted. Thank you for listening.

    Comments: In these depressing times, being able to move to different places and spaces through literature is vital to helping us all to be compassionate, sensitive, caring human beings. Short Stories through the BBC have a key role to play that mustn't be undermined or ended.

    Comments: Radio 4 has supported our finest writers for many years, many of whom have gained their big break through short stories - not to mention the endless hours of entertainment it brings to the listener. Don't cut short the short stories!

    Comments: this is a ridiculous move on the part of the BBC - just today one of the big publishers has released short story digital downloads, because the demand for stories is growing, and the BBC is cutting them back? I am rolling my eyes at the people who're running radio 4.

    Comments: BBC Radio 4 is a wonderful means to keep in touch with British cultural life -especially when you live far away. Please keep all your very interesting programmes, including short stories which are so enjoyable and help listeners escape from gloomy and depressing current affairs!

    Comments: Even as a political junkie the idea that we need more current affairs output at the expense of short-stories is utter nonsense. Schedules are already heaving with current affairs programming, whilst short fiction is tucked away in small, secretive corners. Rather than reducing its output of the form the BBC should be making more of its long-standing commitment to the genre: celebrate not desecrate! In a time when appreciation for short fiction is on the rise, and at a time when budget cuts are being forced on the BBC, it is baffling that the organisation would choose to make less, rather than more, of these stories, which are so inexpensive and yet perfectly-suited to radio. Please reverse the decision.

    Comments: If the BBC cuts can only be met by cutting short stories, then there's something wrong with the cuts. Please either send our petition to those who can rethink the level of cuts, or find another way to address them.

    Comments: The short story, one of the most creative forms of literature, will lose yet another outlet. Creating an entire world/set for a brief story is something that shows true literary skills. Please don't take this away from us.
