´óÏó´«Ã½

Three personal stories reflecting on how we interpret and respond to the rules.

Including 81-year old Patricia, who has finally found her birth family after a 30 year search - right in the middle of a global pandemic. She's desperate to be reunited with her birth mum on her 100th birthday – but equally determined not to break national lockdown rules.

And Wayne, who lives in Oxford with his husband, reflects on the rules that impact him because of his identity as a sexually active gay man - from blood donations to safari holidays.

Plus the Nottinghamshire biology teacher living a double-life as a pirate radio show host... until the ´óÏó´«Ã½ came knocking.

Presented and produced by Becca Bryers, with additional production from Shivani Dave.

With thanks to Justin Dealey at ´óÏó´«Ã½ Three Counties Radio, Clodagh Stenson at ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Oxford, and Dean Jackson and Kenny Burton at ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Nottingham.
