Women's Parliamentary Radio is a website that broadcasts audio and video interviews with women MPs of all parties in the U.K. All the interviews are pre-recorded and put on the website as reports which can be streamed and listened to immediately or downloaded as podcasts so that they can be listened to later. It covers topical current affairs that are of interest to women and their families. Where the issues that concern women are also championed by men, male MPs are interviewed, too. WPR has stated its aim as being "the Woman's Hour of Westminster, reporting fairly and accurately on policy issues of concern to women and their families". It was the creation of its executive producer, former BBC political editor Boni Sones OBE. Using her broadcast knowledge, she foresaw the huge technological shift that was in broadcast journalism through the relaxation of broadcasting laws in 2005 and advances in new technology taking place. Boni taught herself sound engineering techniques assisted by Peter Cook of the CART lab University of Cambridge and pioneered the first "as live" broadcast interviews online encouraged by women MPs at a Cabinet and Shadow Cabinet level including Theresa May MP, Caroline Spelman MP, Harriet Harman MP, Vera Baird MP, Sandra Gidley MP and Jo Swinson MP.
