Your News the extended version. Brace yourselves
Like many items on iPM, Your News was inspired by a listener, but not just any listener. It was suggested by the writer and broadcaster Paddy O'Connell of Radio 4's Broadcasting House.
The bulletin made up of sentences sent in by listeners has become a regular feature on iPM and a firm favourite. So much so, that for our show on Saturday 21st March we'd like to devote the whole 14 minutes to Your News.
If you have never contacted iPM, it's the perfect opportunity to dip your toe in. Send us a dozen or so words about any current event in your life. Email or leave a comment. We won't read your name out on air.
If you need a little inspiration, here's the Your News bulletin that special guest announcer Paddy "Father of Your News" O'Connell read out on the last edition of iPM...
