Christy spoke to 96 year old Dee Nicolson - poet and indexer for the WWII code breakers at Bletchley Park - and to her daughter Catherine who can be heard reciting one of her mother's poems at the start of this interview.

The Isle of Man has some extremely inviting beaches and waterways, but with the high number of tragedies recently around the UK coastlines, Christy spoke to Coastguard Duty Office Michael McDonald to get his advice on staying safe on and around the sea this summer

The award winning poet visited the Island as part of 2016 Manx Litfest programme, visiting St Ninian's High School students and also meeting with the IOM branch of La Leche league. Christy caught up with her - and some of the students - while she was here.

Fabulous French artist Bruno Cavellec visited us on Sept 28th to tell us all about his art, his inspiration, his process - and to introduce us to his muse 'Armande the Crow' - ahead of the opening of his new exhibition at the Isle Gallery in St Johns in October 2016. These are clips from the hour long broadcast.

We were astonished to hear Viv's story about being reunited with her son after 50 years of silence. The whole interview ran to a rollercoasting 25minutes, but we've tried to condense it here for you and hope it gives a good idea of what a magical bit of radio it was. 

What a brave and inspiring lady, and what a wonderful son she has :-) First broadcast 4th October 2016

Viv Cornelius - the 50 year wait...

Another hugely inspiring lady, Dee Struthers lost her 18 year old daughter, Ann, to sepsis just three years ago. She came in to talk to us about that time, and also about her campaign to raise awareness of the often debilitating and sometimes fatal condition.
