Home Town Tourist

It had been a while. You’d spent time travelling the world as I’d occupied myself with mundanity. Since your return, it would be a lie to say we hadn’t made the effort to meet up on one or two occasions, but we’d conceded to the need for a proper catch up, a weekend of quality time together was in order.

My Creative Journey

My name is Maureen Atkin and I am a widowed Mother of five wonderful sons and will celebrate my 73rd birthday on New Years Eve. For over six and a quarter years I have been happily living in the Kirkhill Residential Care Home on Lowedges Road in Sheffield. I’m regarded as a prime example of how someone who has suffered so many severe bouts of the deepest depression, can, with encouragement, praise, and support, become, through sustained effort and sheer determination, a person who has had pride fully restored and become strong enough to succeed and has found happiness in a positive new beginning. This is my creative journey…

Our Story

Graham Marshall uses this weeks ‘Mind Labs’ to tell us a heartbreaking true story about his life. One that until now; only a handful of people ever knew about. But today, on the airwaves of Sheffield Live! we can finally hear the remarkable tale of friendship, hope, courage, pencilcases, and soup.  Oh, so much soup…

Flood

Jenny is standing in her bedroom, cleaning a pair of walking boots. She is in her under-slip. There is a mirror, a small table, a rail of clothing and a double bed.

Podcast 17: Free by 3 Special

The meaning of ‘Three’ is all about the union of two parts to create a unique whole. That point of union forms the fruit of knowledge; it is our access point to unlimited potential. Because if ‘One’ represents force, and ‘Two’ represents an opening, then ‘Three’ is the birthing of true wisdom through a forced opening. So, let us ‘force your opening’ with the “Free by Three” special. Starting with “Falling”, a tale about the denial of gravity. Then later on you’ll hear us helping the public with “The Poetry Technical Support Line” and lastly, we’ll tell you about an object which everybody truly desires. We call it, “The Macguffin”

The House By Nick Card

You stand in front of the door. Your hand held in mid-air, posed to knock upon the harsh wooden surface. But you don’t. You barely move at all. Instead, you let the gentle summer breeze wash over you. “The House” is our new concept narrative #poetryplay. Previously produced by the ‘Cornucopia Radio’ as an album release for ‘Amnesty International’ and now available as an exclusive podcast.
