Summary: Bristol Live's very own podcast is back with the inside track on what has been a very busy week in the newsroom. Two reporters are in the studio to talk about stories that made news for us, while another talks about how he bizarrely made the news himself. Political reporter Esmé Ashcroft dissects a monumental week in the long-running Bristol Arena saga after Mayor Marvin Rees ruled out a city centre concert venue. Esmé talks about exactly what has happened, what will happen next, and how she mentally prepares herself for mammoth shifts. Next Michael Yong speaks candidly to host Krishan Davis about the potentially devastating closure of Bristol's last residential rehabilitation centre, Chandos House. Michael discusses the causes, consquences and how the Chandos House is close to his heart. Our final guest this week is Alex Wood, who talks us through a bizarre experience he had at youth court this week which put his face at the top of a national press news website. Despite seeing the funny side, Alex also discusses the need for training on reporters' rights.
