On this week's show, Bronwen - our brilliant Welsh part-time host - chats to Tom Canning, a member of Reach PLC's central team who has taken a foray into Bristol's newsroom to find out if he's got what it takes to be a local journalist.


Tom describes what it was like to be sent out to do his first door-knock and how he has found it learning the ropes at a busy newspaper. 


Second up, is senior reporter Tristan Cork who is back on the buses this week. Talking all things First Bust, after a climactic month of complaints has resulted in protests, petitions, and even an apology. We take a deep dive into the world of public transport to find out what is really going on and how journalism is helping bring about change.
