This week we are on location at the Petersfield Festival Hall with the Pantomime, Oh yes we are!

We go behind the scenes at panto get-in - that magical moment when a theatre transforms almost overnight. We chat to the director, members of the cast, including some of the children involved, and of course the pantomime cow!

For years, she sang along to the Carpenters and imagined she was Karen Carpenter. Now she’s taking their story and music to audiences around the country.

Laura Sheppard chats to the creator and star of Rainy Days, Mondays & Good Old Dreams, Kerry Le Bern, about a lifelong love of the Carpenters, the story behind the show and what she discovered when she started looking beyond those famous songs.

From singing into a cassette recorder to celebrating Karen Carpenter on stage

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.
