Friday’s episode

Kate Elysia is a survivor of Telford’s notorious grooming gang.

On the next episode of Hello You the Shropshire Podcast, Kate tells her story, in full, in her own words. She also shares her thoughts on the ongoing grooming-gangs debate.

It’s not an easy listen, as you can imagine. (I’ll put content warnings around it.) I could paywall this episode, but it’s important you hear the authentic voice of one of the people at the centre of one of the biggest scandals, controversies and news stories of the last twenty years, so it’ll remain free to listen to and to share.

Talking of subscriptions …

I did a stoopy

Currently, you’re able to take out a paid subscription to Hello You the Shropshire podcast for half price!

But when I set up this offer, I made a colossal, stupid mistake.

I set the end date as Sunday, March 30th. What’s wrong with this picture? Well, March 30th is two days before most people get paid. So it’s the point in the month when they have the least disposable income. Durrr.

Hence, I’ve tweaked it.

You can now take out a paid subscription to Hello You the Shropshire podcast for half price, as long as you do so before Friday, April 4th!
