  • A small announcement

    We are approaching our 200th episode and 2nd birthday on WAYG! Lots of exciting things have happened in the last two years, including the launch of our club. Branded bags should arrive in time for our anniversary, so keep your eyes peeled. I have had a wonderful time travelling far and wide to collect stories for the show. They all stick with me and all I have to do is hear one sentence on tape and I can remember exactly where I was and who I was talking to! 


    I would love to carry on for years to come, and have plans in the works for some trips this Spring. I personally can't wait for the weather to warm up, not least because the batteries will last longer in the recorder! In order to keep producing WAYG, we have decided to allow a small number of brands to advertise with us. That way it will stay totally free.


    If you want WAYG without any ads, you can join the club, paying less than the price of a cup of coffee for a month's worth of regular episodes PLUS bonus episodes, too. Or you can sign up for 6 months or a year. Find out more at :www.whereareyougoing.co.uk/club.


    Finally - if you follow us on Instagram you will be able to see portraits of some of the people I chat to - with their permission of course. I obviously think that radio/ audio has the best pictures.. but also concede that some things are too good not to share. The Molly Dancers of East ANglia in an upcoming episode will definitely make it on the grid! There is an exquisite embroidered cardigan from episode 186 on there already. It belongs in a gallery..  


    You Just never know - as we always say.
