It features all the biggest news stories of the day as well as the latest sport, weather and travel. Ben also makes sure you're in a good mood for the evening with plenty of fun features and great music.

He picked up some Student Radio Awards and after graduating went on to work at a number of commercial radio stations around the south of England as well as BBC Radio 5live.
In 2011 Ben joined BBC Somerset to launch a new 'drive' programme. You might also catch him covering the Breakfast programme and the Emma Britton Show every now and then!
Ben lives in Taunton and outside of work he likes to make the most of the beautiful Somerset countryside and spending time rowing on some lovely rivers!
