To those who yearn for a more “traditional” Radio 3 (Letters, 25 January), may I pass on my solution to the problem of “too much talk”? BBC Sounds makes available the full Through the Night programme, for 28 days. Most last for six hours, can be listened to at any time of the day, and can be paused; selections are eclectic without being “on trend”, and the only talk is a brief introduction to each piece. It is rather like the Third Programme.

• The late great Terry Pratchett once alluded to the image of a wasp landing on a nettle: “someone’s going to get stung and you don’t care who”. For some reason this sprang to mind when I read the report of Andrew Bridgen suing Matt Hancock for £100,000 over a tweet (Report, 26 January).
