How this works: calls are found and summarised by AI from machine-generated transcripts of live broadcasts, so a summary can be wrong. Each quote is checked against the transcript. Names and places are as the caller gave them on air. An automated check holds back any call that should not be published about a private person. Those calls are not listed or counted. Each clip plays the call as it was broadcast, up to its first three minutes. Topics are assigned by AI. Calls stay on this page for 7 days. To correct or remove a call: [email protected].
