Meet the team behind Poles Apart

Poles Apart is presented by Monika, Jan and Bozena

BBC Coventry & Warwickshire's longest running programme, Poles Apart, is a vibrant and lively show.

Poles Apart not only broadcasts locally but is regularly listened to by many both in the UK and abroad through the internet.

In this cultural, musical and informative link to Poland, Bozena Wilson and her team ensure an interesting evening's listening.

The programme goes out every Monday at 2000hrs.

Illustrious guests on Poles Apart have included Lech Walesa, former president of Poland, and - on a musical note - members from the Myslovitz Band.

Famous guests

Monika Rozanski, the programme's co-presenter, whose flair for interviewing is now legendary, has talked to film directors such as Agnieszka Holland, and General Anders's widow, Irena Anders - herself a revered historical figure, who enlightened listeners with her fascinating life story.

Locals also pop in for a chat, and give their views on the goings on around Coventry and Warwickshire as seen through their eyes.
