Changing The Record

Carole talks to actor and author Jim Whelan who has a career expanding 50 years including Coronation Street

In this episode, Carole chats with Pamela and Anne from Marvellously Meat Free about their passion for eating a plant-based diet. They share their amazing vegan and vegetarian recipes and their stories to becoming vegetarian. Pamela is a very long standing vegetarian with significant culinary skills as the author of several recipe books and TV appearances at a time when vegetarianism was in no way mainstream. Anne is a relatively new vegetarian of just a few years standing with a long career in the food manufacturing sector.

This episode of Cuppa with Carole is sponsored by TalkTalk.

In this episode, Carole chats with Bolton-based forager Colin Unsworth who runs Forest Horizons, where mushroom foraging, wood food foraging, green woodworking, yurt building and forest schools take place to help people of all ages reconnect with the great outdoors for well being and mindfulness.

Colin, a teacher and lecturer, started Forest Horizons to bring a mixture of skills together to offer people an opportunity for personal growth in a natural environment. Woodworking, foraging (including mushrooms), woodcraft skills, forest art, bushcraft, open fire cooking. Forest Horizons can even offer you cycle training as a sustainable way of reaching your forest destination!

A Cuppa with Carole is a new series for the Changing The Record podcast, where our Talking About My Generation reporter Carole Ogden sits down for a chat with people doing great things across Greater Manchester. In this episode, Carole has a brew with Boom Radio founder David Lloyd. From a less than promising spell in banking, David began in commercial radio in Nottingham as a teenager, fulfilling a dream he'd nurtured since appearing on BBC local radio reading a poem aged 6. He rose through the ranks to manage radio stations in Leicester, Lincoln, Leeds, Birmingham, and LBC and Virgin in London - departing only for a brief sojourn in media regulation. After almost retiring, Boom Radio was the dream of David's - and he's passionate about the project.

A Cuppa with Carole is the first in a new series for the Changing The Record podcast, where our Talking About My Generation reporter Carole sits down for a chat with people doing great things across Greater Manchester.

First up for a cuppa is a group of women from Inspire Women to talk to them about how they have been coping during lockdown, how they have been supporting each other, and what life after lockdown is starting to look like. Something we can all related to.

Tune in!

With the dark nights drawing in and the Winter frost starting to bite, it can get a bit, well, jading. And that’s without even mentioning ending the year in tiers!

In this installment of the Mind Yer ‘Ed series, Lesley, Christine and David share how they’ve been feeling – and coping – for the past 10 months, and what they’ve learned to build their resilience and keep spirits up in the future.

Our latest podcast episode is a little different from our usual chat - this episode features an interview and a guided session with hypnotherapist Nikki Powell, who shares ‘try at home’ skills that we can all put into practice to help us deal with stressful situations.

Bolton reporter, Carole Ogden, organised the special feature having attended Nikki’s online meditation sessions during lockdown. We hope you find it useful!

How have we kept our heads during lockdown? Well, we've had our up and down days - and reporters Christine, Lesley and Carole share their experiences of dealing with the ups, the downs and how they have found ways to look after their mental wellbeing during the pandemic. A gem of an episode!

 In this episode, Jean, Bob and Pauline talk about how, despite the restrictions of lockdown- we've managed to keep moving - from rediscovering local parks to becoming a YouTube fan.
