The World of Pirate DJs

What makes pirate stations so popular with young people, and why are they illegal anyway?

What makes pirate stations so popular with young people all over the world, and why are they illegal anyway? We talk to Keith, a radio pirate in London, England, to find out.

Also on the show, we report from the Edinburgh Festival – a month-long celebration of film, theatre and art – in Scotland, Northern England; and meet the young religious missionaries who come to Britain to spread the word.
