Unfortunately, due to problems in the studio it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to retrieve a recording of this show. The next show goes out live on 3rd August between 7pm and 8pm and should be available on Sunday 5th August as an audio file from this site.

The first episode of The Wolverhampton Politics Show goes out live on WCR FM on Friday 27th July between 7pm and 8pm.

If you’re in Wolverhampton, you can listen on 101.8 FM. Otherwise, there’s a live stream on the WCR FM website and I’ll be posting a podcast of the show here.

Hello. I’m Matthew Revell, the bloke behind Wolverhampton Politics.

Within the next few weeks, I’m launching a new radio show on WCR FM - Wolverhampton’s new community radio station on 101.8 FM. Each week, with a couple of studio guests, I’ll be looking at politics from a Wolverhampton perspective.

After each show is broadcast live on WCR FM, you’ll be able to download it here as an MP3 or Ogg Vorbis file. There’ll also be a podcast feed that you can subscribe to.

In the mean time, if you have any questions, suggestions or comments, please post here!
