Written by Dr Jonathan Bardon and narrated by Cherrie McIlwaine, James Bryce,Sean Crummey and Miche Doherty, this series of 6 minute episodes transmits on weekdays at 6.54pm on BBC Radio Ulster from Monday the 3rd of January until Friday the 25th of March.

Today the agenda reflects the changing shape of Northern Ireland - topics like anti-social behaviour, hospital cleanliness and devolution issues are now high on the agenda. It is presented by Wendy Austin, one of NI's best known broadcasters.
