A Belgian Malinois with a bright future.

Police Dog (P.D.) Didi is part of the Thames Valley, Hampshire & IOW Dog Section. 

Smaller and lighter than many of her police colleagues, P.D. Didi combines an easygoing nature with just a touch of swagger and supreme athleticism. 

Her handler, P.C. Beale, talks to Kate Fairweather about her abilities, their relationship and what it takes to make it in the police dog world.

Dogs with Jobs is a unique audio series from Petersfield's Shine Radio, in which Kate Fairweather meets and celebrates the front line workers of the canine world. 

Produced by volunteers at Petersfield's Shine Radio.

Petersfield's Shine Radio

Celebrate the frontline workers of the canine world.

Kate Fairweather comes face to face with a diverse cast of working dogs, perfectly equipped with the instincts, intelligence and training to handle everything their jobs throw at them.

Humans and dogs have worked together for centuries - and still do today in our communities.

Some work with handlers, drawing on their natural hunting, herding, or guarding instincts, or an exceptional sense of smell. Others perform caring roles, providing companionship and support to humans.

Podcast of the Year at the Community Radio Awards 2022.

Produced by volunteers at Petersfield's Shine Radio. Contact Kate at team@shineradio.uk or call 01730 555 500.

Dogs with Jobs

Meet Didi, a police dog with the talent for a stellar career in police work

Didi, the police dog

On Saturday 12 September about 600 rubber ducks - sponsored at £5 a time - raced down the River Rother to hundreds of spectators’ cheers at the Annual Trotton Duck Race and Fete. 

Simon and Neil are co-chairs of the organising team of 70, who tell us what its about and the causes it supports.

Amidst the festivities we hear from the ever popular Donut Tree, children's coconut shy, cake stall (though sadly there is no interview with the Egg Chucking team...)

We also hear from Eco Rother Action who conduct water testing along the Rother; events like this, they say, helps raise the importance of volunteer action on water quality.

But the day belonged to the crowds cheering their ducks over the course.

From surviving the horrors of Bucha to rebuilding a career and life in the United Kingdom — a powerful story of resilience, trauma, and hope.

In this episode of the "Cold Coffee" podcast, host Iva Lomas talks with Anna, a Ukrainian lawyer whose family narrowly survived being shot at by Russian troops in their car while attempting to flee Bucha during the early weeks of the war.

Tragedies that reshape nations and shatter everyday life leave lasting scars — just as 9/11 forever changed America, the ongoing war in Ukraine continues to destroy homes, lives, and the sense of safety for millions. Today, the crisis is far from over, and vulnerable Ukrainians still urgently need global solidarity and shelter.
