The future of journalism is in citizen journalists not bought and paid for puppets pushing an agenda

Outstanding broadcaster! Stephen is always worth a listen.
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.
