Today is World Diabetes Day - a day observed to increase the awareness of diabetes, a chronic condition that affects millions of people around the world. The World Health Organization and the International Diabetes Federation organise the event, which focuses on diabetes prevention, health risks, and managing and living well with condition. Kayron Pozo, Susan Edwards and Robin Sheppard-Capurro told us their experiences of living with the condition.

Gibraltar face San Marino tomorrow in the penultimate game of their UEFA Nations League campaign. Gibraltar beat San Marino 1 nil at home last month, Head Coach Julio Ribas says he can only hope for his team to put on their best performance. Our reporter Jose Mari Ruiz is there ahead of the big game.

The Convent Christmas Fair is happening next Friday, with 31 stalls offering a variety of stalls, gifts and of course mince pies and mulled wine! We’re excited about broadcasting live from the Convent in a future episode of the podcast. Organiser Eleri Surrey told us what we can expect.

And, Patrick Murphy and Daryll Pallas make up one half of 'Cedar' - the local band were founded in 2023, and it's been up, up and up since! They've already performed live in Gibraltar, Spain and the UK, and have just announced a new support tour.
