Transcript

After bringing you a soundscape from alongside the River Tern on the Attingham Park estate - Hello You 5, if you want to listen back to it - this time I’m in Shrewsbury town centre, with the sounds of a typical afternoon on Pride Hill, which is pretty much the main shopping street.

Recently there’s been concern about anti-social behaviour in Shrewsbury town centre. So is it as frightening as some people have been saying? Take a listen, and decide for yourself.

If you like what I do, you probably know other people who’d be at least curious, so please share this with them?

And if you haven’t yet done so, please subscribe so you don’t miss any future episodes?

If you want to do a friend a good turn, and me also, you can let them in on the whole Hello You-niverse:

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.
