A new name, a refreshed identity, a stronger focus - Voices & Impact with Isla.
Formerly Isla & Friends, we’re excited to introduce Voices & Impact with Isla — a space for real conversations, diverse voices and the issues that matter to our communities and society.
From personal stories and community experiences to social issues, culture, inclusion and the conversations shaping Ireland, the show goes beyond simply talking — we listen, we question, we connect and we explore the impact.
Because every voice matters.
Every story has value.
And every conversation has the potential to create impact.
Join us every Wednesday at 12 noon on www.gocomradio.ie or find us on Radio Garden.
Come with your voice. Leave with a new perspective.
Listen back to all episodes below.
