Voices and stories from Petersfield in Hampshire, UK

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.

An event on Tuesday 25 August at Petersfield Museum and Art Gallery thanked people who bought an engraved brick.

The audience was treated to a talk by local historian Bill Gosney who enthusiastically told the story of the 15 year quest to build the museum in the Victorian Police Station and Court House from its previous storage location on The Spain.

Chairman of Trustees, Jeremy Mitchell, speaks to Mike Waddington about the importance of campaigns like this and the support it brings. 

He also talks about some of their collections -- like the Don Eades photography collection and some missing wedding photos.

And he reminds us Daniel Day Lewis is a patron of the Museum.

We also hear from two people who bought a brick.
