Faith on Radio Stoke

There has been a Sunday morning faith & beliefs programme on BBC Radio Stoke for over forty years - without a break! Each week on Sunday, between 6pm and 9pm, you can hear coverage of today's faith issues, local and national

Some of the great BBC faith broadcasters, including Norman Ivision and Jenny Kimber, have, at one time or another presented and produced 'Sunday Breakfast' on BBC Radio Stoke.
At the moment, the regular presenter is Tim Wedgwood.

Over the years, the format has evolved and changed, but essentially it is a chance for believers (and non-believers too) to get to grips with the faith news of the week, with some smiles and good music thrown in!

Sundays

You can get involved too. As well as suggesting your church or place of worship for 'In Praise Of God', you can send us your news and raise points of interest that you'd like to see covered.

Just e-mail us with your thoughts...
