Community Chest with Mike Stevens
Podcasts 
Chat show with Live Guests, Music and chat. Weekdays from 10am to 1pm.
Community Chest is jam-packed with items of local interest, advice and music.
We have regular visits from Volunteer Norfolk, HMRC, the Citizens Advice and Trading Standards giving you lots of useful tips. We also catch up with local guests keeping you up to date with what's going on in and around Norwich.
A regular feature is our Dinner Guest Spot when we invite a local personality into the studio to tell us who their 6 favourite dinner guests would be, and why. This discussion often brings in a few suprises.
On the final Wednesday of every month we have a Legal advice feature when our expert is on hand to answer your questions. Make sure you email them into us for our next Legal Advice programme.
Producer Danielle Farthing is on hand with local news and anything else that has caught her eye that week.
Oh yes and we’ll play music to.
If you have a concern or interest you would like to hear discussed on air, we would love to hear from you – send an email to Community Chest. You could even be a guest on a future show! Your opinions are always welcome:
