A Picnic At Woodhead (Part Four) by Thomas Barlow

It’s the final instalment of the bard of Longdendale’s story about a group of day trippers (and their plentiful hamper) travelling the region in June 1867. Actress Cordelia Howard completes the tale of the party’s return journey from Crowden to Manchester.

The Longdendale Tales project was supported by Glossop Creates as part of their Pairings programme, matched with Matt Ross at the Peak District National Park’s Longdendale Environmental Centre in Tintwistle.

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
