Your News
There are more news stories on the streets of the UK than there are discarded red rubber bands. iPM cherishes them and wants you to send them in - news stories, not red rubber bands. Oh, wait. We want red rubber bands too. Not quite sure why. Suggestions?
Anyway, where was I? News. Each week listeners send us single sentences explaining their news. They're funny, brave, sad and angry. They tell of defeats and victories.
You supply the words - via the blog, on or in an email - we add the old Nine O'Clock News theme and a ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio star.

Fed up with people at the Department of Work and Pensions who may make me suffer an Easter with only 22 pence to my name!
