Great show!

It took me a while to get used to the format but it is a great show, especially when highlighting really difficult topics (such as abuse in irish schools). The lifeline team make sure to cover important issues thoroughly and because of the reach of the show you also find feel-good stories (such as people finding each other on air) in between. Looking forward to the show everyday. Keep on!
Not a bad listen
