Gary and Carys are sick and tired of poorly researched news stories that are overreported and go way over the top! But on the other hand, they want to show some love and let those important new stories that slip under the radar get their well-deserved moment in the sun, no pun intended!

Join Gary Younge and Carys Afoko every week on Over The Top Under The Radar, where they'll discuss the news stories that are over the top and under the radar. It can be anything from Voter ID to Cowboy Carter, Welsh Steel and Garfield the Cat! But one thing is certain: expect scrutiny, real talk, and the odd special guest joining the conversation.

Gary Younge's lyrical writing tackles issues such as urban housing inequality, food delivery "black sites," and a new wave of labour unions among sex workers on both sides of the Atlantic. Each episode is built on hard facts, likeable characters, and empathetic on-the-ground reporting.

In the 'Facts' pilot, he explains why there are more jobs in Indian restaurants in the UK than in shipbuilding, steel, and coal combined. How did we get here? He hears from the people at the heart of both sectors. Ellie Mae O'Hagan, who oversees the Center for Labour and Social Studies, joins him. Gary also gets a new point of view on how well strikes and other labour actions in the UK work.

Gary Younge hosts and writes this limited series of eight episodes per season.
