About this listen

This podcast features the lives of the people who live in Church Stretton, Little Stretton, All Stretton and surrounding villages in the Shropshire Hills.



It's a tourist area and we welcome visitors from all over the world to enjoy the Shropshire Hills Natural Landscape You'll find our guests not only on top of the Long Mynd, but nursing a craft beer in the warm glow of a pub fire or having reasonably priced coffee and cake in one of the handful of tea rooms in town. Millions of fell-runners, walkers, hikers, campers, dog-walkers all flock to the Church Stretton area.



We are the first village podcast and the first hyper-local community podcast in the world. We are fun, entertaining and informative without ranting, rudeness or intolerance. We're non-political, non-religious and self-funded. We prioritise the quirky, unusual, interesting, funny and curious.



We are village people and we want to give a voice to the villages of the Shropshire Hills.



We're independent of any organisation and publish episodes every Tuesday.



We have a website http://thestrettonspod.com/.

    Don’t be fooled by Peter Morgan’s Bolton accent. He’s the grandson of the last blacksmith in Hope Bowdler and has lived in the village most of his life. Sian sat with him in his garden on a sunny morning and chatted to him about his memories of life in Hope Bowdler and his time in the Royal Navy.
