Gerard Wood, Government Archivist, and Marcelino Linares of the Gibraltar National Archives join Anton to talk about the work behind this year's exhibition, Gibraltar at the United Nations 1946-2026, which runs from 14 September to 2 October.
The exhibition marks 80 years since Gibraltar was placed on the UN list of non-self-governing territories in 1946. It is built in three sections: the founding of the UN and the decolonisation agenda, Gibraltar's first voice at the UN in 1963, and the modern campaign for decolonisation.
Along the way they cover the reality of archive work. Genealogy enquiries arrive from every part of the world. Pages are still turned by hand because the machines that do it tear them. Some records are too fragile to scan at all. The archives digitised the original 1963 UN film reels themselves, and will show Sir Joshua Hassan's speech notes with the handwritten amendments still on them.
They also discuss why 1965 mattered, why Gibraltar stayed away from the UN until 1992, how identity was shaped by the evacuation and the closed frontier, and the challenge of passing all of that on to people who did not live it.
Public appeal: the archives are looking for newspaper clippings, photographs, film footage and oral histories connected to Gibraltar at the UN. Contributors are credited in the exhibition booklet. Time is short, so get in touch as soon as possible.

Safeguarding children is not only the responsibility of teachers, social workers or sports coaches. It depends on people recognising the signs, trusting their instincts and knowing when to speak up.

Anton Calderon is joined by Jackie Linares from the Department of Education, Giselle Carreras from the Care Agency and Michelle Turner from the GSLA to discuss how Gibraltar’s different services work together to protect children. They explore the realities of safeguarding in a small community, the importance of sharing information, and why every adult may hold a vital piece of the puzzle.

The message is simple: you do not need to investigate or have all the answers. When something does not feel right, your responsibility is to pass it on. Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility.

In this episode, James Perera, sits down with Minister Leslie Bruzon, Regan Lima and Sean Collado of the GSLA to talk through Gibraltar's busiest sporting season yet.
With the school term reshaped this year, the Summer Sports Programme has been extended to nine weeks, the biggest the GSLA has ever run. The team explains how they planned around exam timetables and student lifeguards, why almost 400 children signed up within 48 hours of launch, and how the programme now goes well beyond sport into art, photography, history walks and cultural activities for the kids who are not so sporty.
The conversation also covers how a small jurisdiction shares limited facilities across every association, what it takes to host world-class events like the World Darts Federation tournament, EBA Pool Nations and international netball and hockey, and why so many of Gibraltar's services, from facilities to the summer programme itself, are offered free of charge. The team closes on what matters most to them: developing the young leaders who run the programme and supporting children of all abilities through Stay and Play.

Dr Paul Bosio grew up sharing a one-bedroom flat in Humphreys with six brothers and a closed frontier. He wouldn't change a thing about it.
Now he's the Director General at the GHA. In this episode, Anton traces the long road that got him here: Sea Scouts and street football in Gibraltar, medical school in Dublin, decades of clinical and leadership roles across the UK and Abu Dhabi, and eventually the decision to come back home.
They get into what it actually means to be a "local" who's been away for 41 years, why Paul eventually stopped seeing patients, the uncomfortable ethical trade-offs that come with running a health service on a budget, and what he's genuinely fired up about: mental health, elderly care reform, and training Gibraltar's own doctors and nurses, so the system can stand on its own feet.
