Join Aneeq Ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday's show from 4-6 pm where we will be discussing: ‘Intuitive eating- the anti-diet' & 'Religion: is it a business'.

Intuitive eating- the anti-diet

The latest in trendy diets comes in the form of intuitive eating, a practice where you follow your natural hunger and fullness queues. As it's just been a healthy eating week, join us as we explore the world of intuitive eating and the impacts it can have on our health.

Religion: is it a business

Financial sacrifice is a common concept in most religions. However, many argue that it’s a way for religious leaders to amass wealth as well as gain power, and the followers are abused into giving money in exchange for a sense of community. Join us as we delve into the concept of financial sacrifice and its true essence.

Join Saad Ahmed and Sharjeel Ahmad for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Smart Phone and Nuclear War'

Smart Phones

Some MPs are calling for a ban on under 16s from owning smart phones. Whilst others say this takes the blame away from tech and media companies that should be doing more. Where do you stand? Should there be an approved age at which you can own a smart phone?

Nuclear War 

As global tensions intensify, fears of nuclear war are escalating. A Russian ally even deemed it "inevitable”. The government is also urging people to stockpile supplies like water, non-perishables and medical resources. Join us as we discuss global tensions that may cause a nuclear war, how this may be prevented, and what we should do to prepare for this worst-case scenario.
