Hello You 73: Three Beasts and Unicorns

What if a great idea you had as a child could gain a new life in your adulthood?

Shropshire-based artist, designer, author and filmmaker Sally E K Warner has been creative since childhood. But she didn’t expect a story she wrote whilst in primary school to spring back to life!

Hear her story in this episode of Hello You, then check out her books at Waterstones or Amazon, or better yet in your local independent bookshop.

‘Being social causes us stress and anxiety’

You may lack self-confidence, for whatever reason. You might find interacting with people, whether in real life or online, challenging.

But your voice, thoughts and opinions deserve to be heard, too.

Whilst talking about ways of helping all the good people in your community to get to know each other, how do we include people who aren’t comfortable in a forum?

Your thoughts on this, or on anything at all from suggestions of potential guests to ideas for future topics, the locations of benches where I can sit to talk to people or details of forthcoming events I could come along to and record, are very welcome!

The Hello You Sunday Supplement

This week’s Hello You Sunday Supplement might (no promises) include a lot of powerful and pertinent pieces about journalism, because I have quite a backlog of such.

If you’re in the least interested in the media, journalism, the press and how news gets to us, I think you’ll find it a compelling read.

And if nothing else, you’ll discover how much journalists simply love to write about themselves and their colleagues!

Subscribe to make sure you don’t miss the Sunday Supplement, or future episodes of Hello You!

Hello You - Jim Hawkins’s Substack
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.
