Transcript

One of my very favourite TV programmes is Pilgrimage. Every year, a short series of episodes go out around Easter. I explain in this episode why I enjoy it so much.

And in this episode you can meet Alex, from Little Drayton. He’s going on a pilgrimage of his own, next weekend. He told me why, and about the events in his life that have led up to it. He’s had a lot going on for someone who’s only seventeen years old.

Support Alex on his Pilgrimage!

‘I’m good’, and why I’m practicing saying it

Lots of love for The Hive, Shrewsbury

Discussion about this podcast

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.
