Sitting on a bench again!

Because it went so well last time ...

I might not have met many (any!) people when I set out to sit on a bench and record some conversations last week, but I’ve had some lovely comments on the resulting audio. Lots of people had suggestions for other benches I could sit on to chat to whomsoever stops as they’re passing.

So in a couple of days’ time, I’m going to do it again.

I’ll be sitting on a bench to record for my #HelloYou podcast on Greyfriars Road, Shrewsbury from about 1pm on Tuesday, February 6th. Come and say hello? And tell your friends?

Thanks to Emma Bacon for the suggestion. I’ll be there for about an hour or so, weather permitting, just chatting with anyone who shares the bench with me, about anything - the local area, your life, what’s going on, how you’re feeling … serious or silly or somewhere in between.

And you can hear what happens on the podcast soon afterwards. Subscribe to make sure you don’t miss it, and to hear where I’ll be next time … and other stuff too.

I’d really appreciate it if you spread the word about this, especially if you remember when I used to do ‘sitting on a bench’ pieces for radio … Thank you 🙏🏻
