In this special episode of Voices of One Fylde, recorded just ahead of our relaunch as Tune-ability, Marilyn Booth and Rebecca Carter-Lindsay sit down with station founder Darran Wilson to reflect on how a simple podcast during lockdown grew into a full-fledged inclusive radio station.

They explore the milestones, challenges, and proudest moments — from supporting people with learning disabilities and autism to host their own shows, to launching new podcasts, and building partnerships with schools, charities, and politicians.

Darran shares how the station has given presenters real-world skills, confidence, and a sense of purpose — and what the future holds as Tune-ability prepares to open its doors even wider.

Whether you’ve followed the station from the start or you’re tuning in for the first time, this episode captures the heart of what we do — and why it matters.

"Who Will Care? The Impact of Cutting Overseas Care Worker Visas"

This week, Marilyn Booth and Rebecca Carter-Lindsay explore a major government decision that could reshape Health and Social Care across the UK.

The announcement to end overseas care worker visas later this year has sparked concern — not only for care homes, but for supported living and outreach services too. With over 58,000 overseas care workers recruited in 2023, what happens when that vital stream is cut off?

Marilyn and Rebecca discuss who this affects, why the timing of the decision is raising eyebrows following Reform UK’s election success, and what’s at stake for individuals, families, and the care sector as a whole.

In this timely episode of Voices of One Fylde, Marilyn and Rebecca explore how recent political shifts could shape the future of Health & Social Care.

With Reform UK grabbing headlines and the Liberal Democrats quietly making impressive election gains, we ask the big questions:

Who is truly putting care first?

Whose plans support families, staff, and individuals who rely on vital services every day?

From Ed Davey’s personal commitment to improving social care, to the need for real action — not just promises — this episode shines a light on why good care should be a priority for every political party.
