About Behind the Headlines

Prof Richard Lance Keeble chairs an hour-long discussion in the Siren studio about that day’s newspapers.

Undergraduate and postgraduate students, lecturers from many different schools in the university, officials (such as a retiring VC and a departing Pro-Vice-Chancellor), local and national journalists and the university’s chaplain have all appeared on the programme.

Participants also often look beyond the mainstream – to alternative websites and blogs. The light-hearted chat is broken up with musical clips – chosen by the guests.
