EPISODE 4: 20 Days – Amy Johnson's Solo Flight from England to Australia, 5th-24th May 1930.

In 1930, Amy Johnson set off on her solo flight from England to Australia. If she achieved her aim to journey in the air from Croydon to Darwin she would be the first woman to do so. Flying in her recently purchased second-hand de Havilland DH.60 Gipsy Moth – Jason – she had her sights set firmly on breaking pilot Bert Hinkler's record for the same journey.

Written by Dave Windass, performed by Rachel Harris, with music by Jessica Dannheisser as part of her Orchestral Portraits album released on Audio Network covering Pioneering Women Through Time.

#poetry #poems #poets

It’s Mothers Day, or Mothering Sunday, and we’ve all been thinking about our mums, what they mean to us, what they’ve done for us, how they inspire us, and how they love us.
In this podcast episode HULL IS THIS editor Jerome Whittingham been chatting to other people about their mums.
Actually all contributors are writers, poets, and spoken word performers.
What we’ve recorded together are a series of pieces that are loving, insightful, but maybe capture the spirit of the moment.

HULL IS THIS editor Jerome Whittingham chats with founder and leader of the All For One family of choirs, Helen Garnett.

Undeterred by what the coronavirus has thrown at them, the choirs and their members have taken themselves online, holding daily evening get togethers to sing.
