Dear
@alicevjones.bsky.social
why hasn't Times Radio given
@rialina.com
her own regular show? Did you hear the one off Friday night show Ria hosted: interviewing a Scandinavian AI CEO; tasting doughnuts & discussing a new theatre venue in her own friendly, intelligent and witty style.

“In Kent, a No Use Empty scheme offers interest-free loans for up to 3 years to owners who will let or sell the property afterwards. Though it was set up 20 yrs ago with a relatively modest pot of £5m, today it is self-sustaining.” Very interesting and important piece from the BBC.

The News Agents - Special episode: Inside the murky world of Facebook
Listen to The News Agents - Special episode: Inside the murky world of Facebook by Global on Podcast Addict. Sarah Wynn-Williams was a senior Facebook executive for most of the last decade. She had a front row seat as Mark Zuckerberg rapidly expanded the company and he grew in power and prominence. And she became increasingly alarmed by both his and the company’s actions. Now, she is telling her story - her memoir, ‘Careless People’, is out today. It has been described as “explosi
