Is it right to freeze benefit payments? Plus a chat with a former Radio Stoke reporter who's now boss of CNN International!
Join Perry for conversation and debate you'll want to be part of.
Chancellor George Osborne has laid out plans to freeze most benefit payments for working age adults for two years (with a number of exceptions). He says that wages are still rising slower than benefits, but is it fair to cap payments like Child Benefit, Income Support and Job Seekers Allowance?
Perry also chats to Tony Maddox, the Newcastle man who went from being a reporter at BBC Radio Stoke in the 1980s - to being the boss of CNN International in America!
