Radio, Religion And Brass Bands

THE TIMES
About this episode

Matt looks at a boom in hyper-local community radio, including the station bringing you the sounds of a hedge for eight hours.


Plus: Columnists James Marriott and Gaby Hinsliff are joined in the studio by a live brass band as they discuss whether Britain has lost its religion, whether the Conservatives can win the next election, and what locals make of Boris Johnson's swimming pool plans.
