That Saturday Night Thing

Bill Rammell, former foreign office minister, is the only British MP who has been to North Korea whilst in office. So does he think the regimes talk of peace and disarmament is genuine?

We did it to the trains - why not the Royal family. A privatisation model that sees regional franchises for the Royals, renewable every so often - and open to foreign Royal families to bid for control if they so choose. If we think it works for the railways, why not?

Visit a Victoria operating theatre at a time when there was no anaesthetic! Or take a trip under London on a postal train. Two ideas for days out in the capital.

There is little doubt that there was foreign involvement in the campaigning for the Irish referendum on abortion. That’s why James Lawless, a Fianna Fáil politician and spokesperson on science and technology, is pushing for new transparency legislation. If it works there, we should try it here.

That on again off again peace summit with North Korea, the biggest spying scandal in US history (not) and stand up a free world (it's compulsory). @RSKazimer with the week in the US.

Tamara Ecclestone's dummy spit, Hugh Grant getting married and take-outs from the royal wedding. Stuff you could possibly make it through life without knowing.

Do we know where are food comes from? That cheap t-shirt you bought – how do you know it doesn’t come from a sweatshop in India? Phil Dobbie talks to David Birch, an author, advisor and commentator on digital financial services, on whether block chain technology can be used to help us find out more about where the products we use come from.

Can we find where products come from, how a PI uses your data plus the latest on Trump.

Filling in on Friday morning. North Korea peace talks, Irish referendum, GDPR, last minute getaways,= and is the NHS just an empty pit to throw money in?

The Aussie record breaking mountaineer, Australia's wedding gift, Pauline Hanson's online survey and the Aussie taking gambling far and wide. The latest news from down under with Paul Wallbank.

Things aren't going well for the President. Some of his big wins seem to be collapsing, Stormy Daniels won't go away, the Senate Intelligence Committee has concluded Russia did help him win and Mike Pence is after his job. Richard Kazimer on the latest from America.

Privatising the railways doesn't cost the taxpayer less, it's pushed fares up well above inflation and creates discontinuity everytime a franchise changes hands. Phil Dobbie suggests, with the East Coast mainline now back in public hands, its time to reverse Margaret Thatcher's bad decision to create privatised regional monopolies.

Italy is set to form a new government and its bad news for the EU. Could it mean that they leave the Eurozone. Economist Vicky Pryce thinks not, but the uncertainty will be bad news for those planning deeper integration within Europe.

Leadership expert Steven Howard joins Phil Dobbie to discuss the failings of President Trump's approach to leadership. Steven explains how it's the same approach that led to the Volkswagen diesel-gate saga - driven by ego rather than inclusion.

Had the Beckhams had a row? Was Elton having difficulty staying awake? Should someone have dragged the Bishop off after 5 minutes? The stuff you thought about the Royal Wedding but were afraid to say. Listen Saturday nights 10pm-1am on LoveSport Radio 558AM, DAB and online at lovesportradio.com

Well, she's not really a countess but in America you can be who you want to be. If you're Megan Markle you can even be in the British royal family. Erika Lamarre from Maine USA gives her views of the big day

We were lucky enough to get Prince Charles to talk to us from Frogmore House on the night of the Royal Wedding. He describes to Phil Dobbie how the royal couple are very much in love and how it's a cash bar after 1am. This is the real Prince Charles, but if you are looking for an impersonator you can't go past Guy Ingle from princecharles.co.uk.

Prince Charles, the Wedding goss, Trump's personality, unrest in Italy, nationalising trains and the latest from Oz and the US.

Paul Wallbank reports from Australia where they've just experienced the worst mass shooting in two decades. On a lighter note, the country was probably pleased to see the back of five more politicians caught in a 114 year old law that prevents them from being dual citizens. And summer is over, may the flooding commence.

Richard Kazimer calls in from the US with the latest on Trump and his entourage, including the money trail passing through the hands of Michael Cohen. Also the impact of the Iran deal, John McCain makes a last request and the NRA elects a convicted felon as president. Apart from that, the country seems to be functioning normally.
