A warm welcome to new and returning listeners. Like many organisations, we have had to adapt to the changes currently happening in our world and we all now work from home. However we will still be broadcasting regularly throughout the COVID-19 isolation period.

When we are on air, there will be a Listen Now button at the top of the page. If it’s not there, check the schedule below for our next broadcast. All previous content from our many years of broadcasting is available on the show pages tab.
