Three Oswestry businesses have joined forces to launch a new podcast featuring all the town’s good news.
David Lee-Birch and Tracy Leonard of Oswestry Life Magazine, Charlotte Foster of Charlotte Foster Podcasts and Ruth Martin of Martin & Jones Marketing decided that their home town needed a good-news series to celebrate all things Oswestry, so they have launched Oswestry Life.
David-Lee Birch said: “When we’re putting the magazine together, we’re always inundated with amazing stories from people in town and the surrounding areas. We get to hear them all, but there often isn’t space to include them.
“This is where the idea of the podcast came from – we want to share these uplifting and moving stories with everyone.”
He added that he hoped the partnership would help Oswestry Life reach even more people in the town and surrounding area. Over 7,000 copies of the monthly are already distributed across the area and it has a social media following of over 35,000.
Charlotte Foster will produce the podcast, she says: “Gone are the days when you would bump into a neighbour at the corner shop and update each other on family happenings. Podcasts can help us to connect again.
“This is Oswestry’s own podcast, so we invite everyone in the town to get involved with our exciting new project, as we connect, inform, and inspire through the power of your good-news stories.”
Series one, on a spring theme, will include discussions on health and wellbeing, the awakening of nature, and the exciting new developments shaping the town.
The first three episodes are available now on all podcast platforms.
