  • Heartwarming podcast

    Such a lovely podcast about the characters and stories from our local area. Always makes me smile. Loved the interviews with the locals and their reminiscences of how life used to be- hope that John Parry is on your list? And thanks for the podcast.

  • Colourful characters of The Stretton

    Some great South Shropshire characters and stories, but the pod could be so much better with a decent interviewer!

    A real failure to ask questions and very patronising at times.
