On this week’s show

Chris and the Big Issue

Have you ever seen someone selling the Big Issue Magazine and wondered what was the story behind that person?   

At 17 Chris was out of options and on the street. Sam talks to him about how he got back on his feet again; and how his experiences affect his life now.  Sam also catches up with Amy Hetherington, the editor of the Big Issue to find out what this magazine is and what it means for the vendors who sell it.

Studio 1 welcomes any input from our listeners. If you have any experience or thoughts about issues covered in this episode or believe there is something we should be talking about.

A special thank you to Chris and to Maree Agapitos and Amy Hetherington from The Big Issue
