  • Nolan is one unstoppable

    Nolan takes on case after case of investigations, and doesn’t stop without results.

    Additionally, Nolan’s Stonegate investigation is very interesting.

    One journalist I will always follow, hard hitting, no nonsense and works hard for all listeners. Whether it’s an elderly lady Jean with rats in her home, ignored by the council. Or a young 19 year old gentleman fighting for his father to receive his life saving operations from pancreatic cancer.
