The elements of INSPIRE

Hope FM is a Community-focused Christian radio station. Which means its scope covers everything from what is going on in and around its beautiful south-coast location in England, plus what is of general interest, especially Christian-related. All that, backed up by a great and varied music mix, delivered 24/7.

My show on Hope FM  airs on Thursday evenings between 8-10 pm LONDON time. It's called INSPIRE because that is what it aims to do: inspire listeners through words and a mellow mix of praise, worship and secular songs, including new releases, musical discoveries, and special features. These include a chosen artist, covering a mini-bio and their music, or a listener's challenge: such as a mystery sound or musical challenge.

Other regular features include funny and fascinating facts, words of wisdom, plus features helping with one's faith or self-worth. Humour is also one of the show's important ingredients, as are 'Inspiring Words'* and 'Inspiring Tales'. Here is a rough guide of timings:
