The mastermind behind Manx Radio's comedy sketch 'IM1' is hoping to bring the series back again this year.

The satirical programme which goes behind the scenes of the radio station has been nominated for an accolade at the Audio and Radio Industry Awards.

'IM1: A New Hope - LIVE!' is up against some industry heavyweights in the comedy category.

Manx Radio's Christian Jones sat down with the writer and producer Howard Caine.

Is there enough support for new dads on the Island?

That's the question Manx Care is asking in a new survey.

It's admitted there's a gap in its services to support new dads and is hoping to try and address it.

Amy Griffiths has been finding out more:

An Island businesswoman says applying for the hit BBC TV show ‘The Apprentice’ has boosted her confidence in ways she could never have never imagined.

Emily Todd is a certified menstrual cycle coach and the founder of the Femm Collective which aims to empower women through menstruation education.

She was one of 50,000 entrepreneurs who attempted to impress Lord Alan Sugar and was in the top one percent of potential candidates who were selected to audition.

Whilst she didn’t make it through Emily told Manx Radio the lessons she’s learnt have been invaluable:

Something that has been in the news a lot recently is the issue of waiting lists at Noble's Hospital.

Two years ago, Manx Care brought over Scottish based company Synaptik to help carry out a number of procedures.

So how has that partnership been for both teams, and what has it meant for Manx patients?

Siobhán Fletcher caught up with Tracy Kelly - the senior nurse liaison lead for Manx Care and Synaptik - and Lisa Wood - the clinical lead for Synaptik - to find out.

Her Majesty Queen Camilla delivers a speech during her visit to the Isle of Man to confer city status on Douglas.

The Isle of Man needs to distance itself from the UK’s position on the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

That’s the view of protestors who today (19 March) gathered outside the Tynwald building in Douglas to urge the Island’s parliament to support calls for an immediate ceasefire.

They say despite months of lobbying MHKs, and the chief minister directly, there has still been no public statement regarding the Manx position.

Tessa Hawley and Phil Gawne have this report:

Manx resident Sarah Jarvis tells us about her journey so far, after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in May last year.

A 'guerilla gardening' campaign that took place over the weekend had the desired effect, according to the Rushen MHK who spearheaded it.

Michelle Haywood planted a number of daffodils in the potholes on Port St Mary High Street on Saturday.

She says she wanted to draw wider attention to the road, which has been collapsing for 'the best part of a decade'.

The subsection along the key route has 'structurally failed' and Dr Haywood says there are concerns about a pipeline running underneath it.

Siobhán Fletcher went to the site to catch up with her.

A redacted version of the report which clears the health minister of a bullying allegation has been published.

Chief Minister Alfred Cannan initially said the findings would be 'unintelligible' if released, but today it was made public.

The investigation came after the Health Services Consultative Committee, a panel that scrutinises the Island's health services, claimed Lawrie Hooper had subjected its members to 'an hour-long rant' during a meeting.

While the report dismisses the complaints, it does state the minister was able to and should have defused the tension at the meeting.

We caught up with Mr Hooper to get his thoughts on the findings.
