Voice of the community

She wants her shows to capture all aspects of life in Leicesterhire – from entertainment, fun, laughter, community issues, achievements, current affairs, topical debates and definitely showcasing Leicester's many talented performing artists.

The door is wide open – it really is all about community – she wants the show to be led and shaped by you - the people who listen to it.

She'd love to hear from you about what you think the show should be featuring and also if you have some ideas about how to make where you live even better!

Also, if you're a "muso", music specialist or simply love good music – why not showcase and share a few tunes from your music collection in our guest DJ slot.
