Over The Top Under The Radar
Introducing Over The Top Under The Radar With Gary Younge & Carys Afoko
Gary and Carys are sick and tired of poorly researched news stories that are over reported and go way over the top! But on the other hand, they wanna show some love to let those important new stories that slip under the radar get their well-deserved moment in the sun, no pun intended!
Join Gary Younge and Carys Afoko every week on Over The Top Under The Radar, where they'll discuss the news stories that are over the top and under the radar. It can be anything from Voter ID, Cowboy Carter, Welsh Steel and Garfield The Cat! But one thing is for sure, expect scrutiny, real talk and the odd special guest joining in the conversation.
The first episode drops Friday 17th May!
