News

The first of two programmes from Islay, after iPM listener Chris suggested the Hebredian island for an outside broadcast.  Who lives there? What makes them tick? And how do they keep local traditions alive? We also hear from Ileachs - the residents there - about the booming whiskey industry, the impact its growth is having on Islay's infrastructure and how it attracts huge numbers of tourists to the island each year.  iPM is the programme that starts with your story - iPM@bbc.co.uk And Newsnight's Kirsty Wark reads our Your News bulletin.

"Everybody here is important"

iPM listener, Aiden, shows us round the business he set up in a prison, roasting and packaging coffee at Feltham Young Offenders Institute, South West London. He wants to give the young men working with him experience and skills they can use when they're released, and the prison governor tells iPM it's schemes like this that help cut re-offending rates.
