OUR PROGRAMMING

The radio will produce high-quality programming that keeps the sharing of mental health and education at its heart but that reflects that people experiencing mental illness are much more than their illness and offers a rounded programming schedule. Some of these programmes may include:

• Chat  shows – panel discussions about topics decided by listeners  
• Personal stories – documentary-style programmes that hear from individuals with different experiences, not necessarily mental health specific but where the topic is addressed. For example it may be an experience of someone’s application into university and as part of that they may discuss their mental health.    
• Well-being music – research will need to be done into the costs of sharing music. This may instead be a forum for bands to conduct a ‘live lounge’ style session    
• Interviews and news 
• Lifestyle programmes – programmes focused on different lifestyle topics where discussions about mental health come up as part of the conversation but where people can also learn how to keep themselves well by eating well, exercising in different ways or pursuing interests  
• Arts and culture – book discussions, poetry sharing, art  reviews  
• Food – cooking shows, nutrition and diet advice  
• Sport – exploring grass-roots sports
