In Episode 6, we'll be talking about the sense of togetherness you feel being part of the flapping community. There are tales of meeting spouses and learning how to better train your dog; the generosity of owners and the pleasure of being known years after you last went to a track. What did it mean to be one of the Dogpeople?

Dogpeople: Everyone Would Help Everyone is written and narrated by Dr Louise Powell, and audio edited and produced by Bridget Hamilton. It features clips from interviews with John Ingham, Len O’ Donnell, Trev and Iris Liddle, Dave, Sandra Devine, Peter Richardson and Kieran Carter. It also draws on off-record interviews with two dogmen who wished to remain anonymous. This episode is the sixth in a podcast series which forms part of a broader Combined Arts project called Dogpeople. The Dogpeople project is supported using public funding from Arts Council England, and commissioned by No More Nowt’s ‘Untold Stories’ strand. It is delivered in partnership with No More Nowt, Redhills Durham, New Writing North, The Story at Mount Oswald and Wheatley Hill Heritage Centre. Special thanks must also go to Gary Philipson and Lyndsey Mack at BBC Radio Tees, Anna Disley, Lucie and Joe of Sunderland Greyhound Stadium, and Jeff McKenna and Dave Gray of Pelaw Grange Greyhound Stadium.
