Really interesting chat with Jim Shrubb who is a Town Crier. Jim explained about his work, the origins, traditions and also read out a few words from his carefully tied scrolls.
Sylvia kept us up to date with the latest news from The Billericay Readers Group and The Society of Woman Writers.
Also joining me this week is Harry Stacey, who is at Phoenix FM on work experience.
