For the second consecutive year, Campus FM, the University’s radio station, will be presenting AGORA - its LIVE socio-political talk show on Saturday mornings. AGORA will be asking the toughest questions to investigate the truth behind the different aspects of Maltese society and politics. Listeners have the opportunity to make their direct interventions through phone-ins, What’s App and Facebook. Programmes are hosted by Dr Mario Thomas Vassallo and produced by the Department of Public Policy. 

 

AGORA features a wide variety of socio-political themes on Saturday mornings, including climate change, political education, the police force, economic diversification, investigative journalism, the future of local farming, tourism and many more. Academics, politicians, practitioners and policy experts are invited in studio or via zoom to discuss the selected topics every Saturday morning. Each programme is aired live with a duration of two hours from 9:00 to 11:00 am. Programmes are also streamed-live on the Facebook pages of Campus FM and the Department of Public Policy.

 

The first programme will go on air on Saturday 8 October at 9:00am. On the day, the topic of the discussion will encapsulate the social partners’ expectations for the upcoming Government budget and the current sentiment on the European Union among the Maltese population. AGORA will keep its weekly appointment on Saturday morning from October 2022 to June 2023.
