What role does language play in the propaganda of war? The Global Jigsaw has been asking that very question following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. We hear from the show's presenter and listeners give us their thoughts on what they have learned about the power of the spoken word. Plus, one listener complains too many programmes are becoming “inane chatter”. Presenter: Rajan Datar Producer: Howard Shannon A Whistledown production for BBC World Service
