The power of poetry - and delivering the message - it's all there in this week's edition of At Your Service

At Your Service - Manx Radio

Poet, Anglican priest, academic, singer/songwriter, lecturer and biker, Rev'd Dr Malcolm Guite made his first visit to the Island at the end of last year - and loved everything he saw. In the first part of an interview recorded during his visit, he talks about his childhood in Nigeria, and the power of poetry - to change the course of a life, and to take on a life of its own.
The second part of the interview will be included in another episode of the programme in a few weeks' time.
Norman Barron was born in 1909 and in 1958 became a fully accredited Local Preacher, serving the Methodist Church on the Island in a voluntary capacity for some 40 years. In a conversation recorded in 2000 when he was 91, Norman explains to David Callister how it all happened.
