Listen to latest show

Air your views to Duncan Barkes and the team every weekday morning from 6am on City Talk Breakfast.

 

Dunc will be joined by a mix of local experts ready to tackle the issues making the headlines.

 

They won’t be afraid to voice their opinion and Duncan never holds back on a controversial issue.

 

Rather than just having a root through the papers and talking about what's in the news, Duncan wants his programme to be a platform for debate and discussion.

 

At 8:35am each morning listen out for Duncan's Donuts while after 9am Duncan does a round of Liar with Roy Basnett and Claire Morrow - can you guess who is telling fibs? 
 

Join Duncan Barkes for City Talk Breakfast, Monday to Friday, 6am – 10am
