Acerca de esta escucha

This podcast features the lives of the people who live in Church Stretton, Little Stretton, All Stretton and surrounding villages in the Shropshire Hills.



It's a tourist area and we welcome visitors from all over the world to enjoy the Shropshire Hills Natural Landscape You'll find our guests not only on top of the Long Mynd, but nursing a craft beer in the warm glow of a pub fire or having reasonably priced coffee and cake in one of the handful of tea rooms in town. Millions of fell-runners, walkers, hikers, campers, dog-walkers all flock to the Church Stretton area.



We are the first village podcast and the first hyper-local community podcast in the world. We are fun, entertaining and informative without ranting, rudeness or intolerance. We're non-political, non-religious and self-funded. We prioritise the quirky, unusual, interesting, funny and curious.



We are village people and we want to give a voice to the villages of the Shropshire Hills.



We're independent of any organisation and publish episodes every Tuesday.



We have a website http://thestrettonspod.com/.

    Need a fury friend? Why not rescue a cat from Craven Arms? Sarah from Rose Cottage Cattery introduces us to two cats looking for a forever home. Then it’s the annual beer festival in Rectory Fields where we enjoy live music and a selection of craft ales. Cardingmill Valley is a very popular place for school groups studying rivers and we talk to two teachers with groups of students there. Finally we’re off to the Bridgnorth constituency office of Stuart Anderson, MP for South Shropshire.

    Now we’re going to hear from Lucinda Lovesey, a potter from Picklescott, whose family has lived in the village for generations. She tells us stories of her father and grandfather and the important part the Bottle and Glass pub continues to play in the life of the village, including some memorable parties there!

    We speak to the first visitors of the season to Acton Scott Heritage Farm and make the journey to Hay on Wye to speak to a Strettonian on stage at the Hay Festival. Curious about the dark web? Learn how to access it and whether it’s really as dangerous as you think. And according to a group of Swiss we found on the Long Mynd, Church Stretton doesn’t bear much resemblance to the Swiss Alps.
