Last edition of the year out now. Local Lives is replaced by a very non-local interview about a once very-local man whose whereabouts could, at the present time, be local, non-local or anything in between. open.spotify.com/episode/68BeDs…

SAFETY FIRST! As the spectre of local and global chaos looms we talk to an expert in community security and war. This edition's Local Lives guest is amphibious St Elwickian Tony Dowland, RM (Ret.). open.spotify.com/episode/1oZ6Xn…

Right then. New edition of the Newsletter Podcast available today. Includes synopses of the lost Feb and March editions so let that be an end to it. open.spotify.com/episode/1Zw7au…

May edition of the Newsletter Podcast findable here: open.spotify.com/episode/2CxpMR… I realise it's a bank holiday but I'm reliably informed that podcasts are still open as usual.

I thought releasing the June edition in printed form would have been cause for celebration but instead I have been inundated with snippiness. I do this in my own time you know. All complaints addressed en masse herein: open.spotify.com/episode/11SxWk…

July edition herein. Includes the long awaited return of our local history segment with Hilary Geisler and an extremely exciting Local Lives with would-be record-breaker Martin Cudlipp. open.spotify.com/episode/47wNyE…

Now this may seem a little close to the wire for an August edition but nonetheless here it is not my fault I got press-ganged into helping with the new rabbit proof fence at Rivermead Allotments even though I still haven't been assigned a plot. open.spotify.com/episode/33XLHj…

"Isaac Steele and the Forever Man" by Daniel Rigby is the selection for this month's St Elwick's Audiobook Club. I've not listened to it but Jess, Cathy, Paul, Hilary and some fellow with a moustache and a poorly trained dog assure me it is excellent.

Latest edition below. Any complaints re Neighbourhood Association Committee meeting minutes to Gary van Sned please. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/st-…
