The BBC Trust has launched an investigation into The Today programme's regular religious slot and the possibility allowing non-religious voices.

The Guardian and The Times reports.

And the Radio 4 controller, Mark Damazer, is also reconsidering. Here's what he said on Radio 4's Feedback on Friday (1.20 mins)

Mark Damazar wrote on this blog in January that 'it was a genuinely difficult question', but that 'we believe that broadening the brief would detract from the distinctiveness of the slot.'

Mark Damazer declined to come on the iPM programme earlier this year, but we had a huge response and your comments formed the basis of a discussion between the Rev. Prof Alister McGrath and Prof AC Grayling.

This is the edited version (8 mins) as it appeared on the programme, you can hear the full version (22 mins) on this earlier post.

Also today, The Today programme asked if TFTD should stay sacred.

UPDATE: Mark Damazer writes about appearing on Feedback.

An aviation engineer had something of a busman's holiday this week when he was called on to repair the airliner bringing him back from a break in Menorca.

iPM has been thinking about airline passengers being asked to give the crew assistance since we heard from the father of an oil rig safety engineer. His son watched in shock as a fellow passenger was taken ill and stopped breathing.

"It appeared that the flight crew did not have adequate basic training, felt incompetent to render CPR and had to call on the services of the passengers."

Have you or someone you've travelled with been taken seriously ill mid-flight? Have you given medical aid to a passenger?

Or perhaps like the aviation engineer you've lent your professional expertise to the flight crew. Let us know.

Email us or leave a comment on the blog.

UPDATE
We asked Scott Adams, the oil rig safety engineer, about what happened. After asking listeners if anyone had had similar experiences Martin Miles-Moore and Dr Halcyon Leonard got in touch.

Martin is a physiotherapist who recently responded to a call as he returned from a ladies basketball tournament in Berlin. And Dr Halcyon is a retired GP who could never have guessed the consequences of answering a call ten years ago on a flight to Oman.

They each told me their story, beginning with Scott.

You email, tweet , or leave a blog comment sharing your news in one sentence. iPM puts them together as a bulletin and invites a BBC legend to read it out.

The Today programme's Edward Stourton did the honours on our last show:

My son is in Philadelphia for a gathering of fellow cult-members who may one day realise they've been duped into cutting themselves off from their families.

After returning from working in Mumbai, Peter is still trying to explain his actions with the live-in housemaid to his wife.

I had to cancel the order for my new car as the manufacturers had no idea when it would be made.

A colleague is the envy of the office after having a huge bouquet of 12 pink roses delivered.

I had a lovely text conversation with my daughter; the first one we've had since she stopped talking to me four years ago; maybe we'll speak soon.

I completely lost it at the crematorium but I managed to get back enough composure to deliver Mum's eulogy.

I narrowly avoided my house burning down when sunlight focused by a mirror set fire to a curtain.

Husband jobless, three student sons jobless, I am now declaring myself available to house sit anywhere, a remote property would be ideal.

Spent the afternoon at the top of a ladder, using both ungloved hands to remove a swarm of bees from my neighbours' roof cavity, and thinking that this was a prime example of "Don't try this at home, folks!"

My 10 year-old-car is making expensive noises. "Scrappage me!" it coughs enticingly.
