Lisa Marrey sits in (19/08/2026)

News, great music, fun and the local issues that matter to you.

We're taking you back to 1996 - remember when the Spice Girls changed the face of pop forever and the DVD was born? Well we were also introduced to a Japanese franchise that became massive, and is still massive 30 years later, Pokémon! The team will meet the 12 year old from Liverpool who is travelling the world playing the game.

Ahead of our 2026 Make a Difference Awards, the spotlight is on the incredible fundraisers across our community. We'll meet an incredible bunch of women who go by the name of "The Non-Stoppers". For the last twenty-six years they’ve fundraised non-stop for Willowbrook Hospice in St Helens.
