Discussion

At Swindon 105.5 we believe there should be quality time for quality conversation.....   opportunities to discuss and present a wider perspective on issues.  

Shirley Meets...

Sundays between 11 and midday "SHIRLEY MEETS...." is an opportunity to hear local people talking about their lives, interests and thoughts on Swindon and playing their choice of music.
