December 14, 2020The Shrewsbury Biscuit Podcast: Stephanie Henson - Tech Time OutAL is joined by Stephanie Henson from Six Ticks. This situation caught Alex's eye because Steph works at Six Ticks which is a cool tech company that makes websites, apps etc However Steph is pushing for something called Tech Time Out to be rolled out nationally. We all (mostly) spend too much time attached to technology which is not healthy and that is a fact. Tech Time Out encourages people to actually take a break from tech and give your mind a rest. Concentrate on more important things and do away with notifications that try to draw you back in.Where did this idea come from, what tools are being used to help and what are the tell-tale signs of someone being actually addicted to their devices?

December 07, 2020The Shrewsbury Biscuit Podcast: Landfill AngelsToday's show takes us to Whitchurch and the amazing business that is Landfill Angels. A business ran by Mother and Daughter Sharon and Chloe, that offers a new lease of life to furniture that may have ended up in the skip otherwise. We talk about how the business became what it is today, how Sharon and Chloe manage to work together, the importance of inter-generational working relationships and how Landfill Angels give back to the community."This show was put together by our awesome High Sheriff, Dean Harris and I am so glad it was! There is something really genuinely beautiful about this episode. I find the idea of giving a battered old piece of furniture a new look, life or purpose to be really quite rewarding. Sharon and Chloe were so interesting to talk to, especially how paint...literally paint has not only helped them survive the pandemic but prosper! If I'm ever in Whitchurch I will be sure to pop in and say hello guys" - ALPHOTO CREDIT: Lisa Farebrother, The Shrewsbury River Loop which you can find on the floor outside the Old Market Hall in town....more53minPlay
