About Sandwell Talking Newspaper
Sandwell Talking Newspaper is a weekly digest of articles published in the Sandwell Express and Star and also contains some material from Black Country Podcasting plus some home grown material. It goes out weekly on audio cassette to subscribers and is now available here, courtesy of Sandwell Visually Impaired and we would like to say thanks to them for hosting our on-line presence.
Internet listeners have the advantage of a slightly longer edition including material we cannot squeeze onto the 60 minute tape version. The streaming "Listen now" link loads a play list which enables skipping forward to side two whilst listening in your MP3 media player of choice.
Each new edition of the Talking News will be here on Saturdays after recording which takes place on Wednesday evenings each week.
Thanks go to Express & Star papers for permission to use news items. Thanks also to Laurance Hipkiss of Rooster studios for his permission to use excerpts from his weekly Black Country Podcasts.
We must also thank our loyal team of readers who give their time freely every week, often after a hard day's work, to spend an hour and a half reading the paper for us.
Sandwell Talking News is produced independently and is not produced by SVI members.
