Conversations can change lives, and start to make things better.

This Thursday is Time To Talk Day, a chance for us to start conversations about mental health. On Thursday afternoon, I’ll be sitting on a bench in The Square in Shrewsbury - listen to the episode to find out which one, and exactly when! - ready to have a conversation about mental health with you, or anyone who joins me. If you’re happy to be recorded for Hello You that would be great, but don’t worry if not, I won’t record unless you’re cool with it.

You can hear what happens on Thursday afternoon, in the next episode of Hello You.

Hello You with Jim Hawkins

I’m trying to give you something a little different. Hello You is about stuff, and things. People, and stories. Shrewsbury, and Shropshire. Mental health and well-being. History and heritage. Arts, culture and music. Faith, belief and the complexities of life.

I’m a good listener. It’s what I do. And for Hello You, I’m listening to (and talking with) fascinating people, mostly but not always from Shropshire, so that you can hear what they have to say.

It's public-service local journalism that cares about people. Audio that brings you the voices of people you might not hear from otherwise. Interviews conducted with compassion and empathy. Thoughtful, positive, good-humoured conversations, informed local storytelling, and commentary that’s not afraid to get righteously angry on occasion.
