Kaleidoscope is an Arts Magazine.  This program is one of the ways that 5mbs links our station to the wider music  community as well as looking further afield, from time to time, at local drama, art and literature. It is an important link to the wider listening audience as we talk with some very interesting people about what interests them most. You can hear it on Wednesday 6.pm or Saturday 11am. In your own time you can access it through Listen on Demand via 5mbs.com.

Program  broadcast on 4 December at 6.00pm  and 7 December at 11.00am or  Listen on Demand via 5mbs.com
