New to the 'Soapbox' this week... Alan Tugwell from Cardiff's Prison talks to our reporter Arielle Tye about 'Clink Radio'

There are some interesting projects that go on inside the prison that most people don't know about. Arielle spoke to Alan Tugwell about the prison radio station.

Councillor Nigel Howells represents Adamsdown on Cardiff Council, together with Councillor John Dixon. Councillor Howells is also the Executive Member for Sport Leisure and Culture. He shares with us what being a Councillor is all about, tells of his early happy Adamsdown memories, and let’s us into his world outside politics.

Father Roy Doxey has been the vicar of St Germans Church for 12 years. He tells us of the joys and challenges of serving the community of Adamsdown.
