A program that looks to what's going on in the community, aims to understand issues that affect us, and lets you know what's on in the coming weeks.

We summarise what's in the local press each week (with members of the Regional News Team), present interviews with experts from here or even around the world to get to the bottom of topics, talk to local politicians from Shire to Federal parliament, talk to local people who are making things happen, and to local performers and artists presenting in the region.
