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.

Kathy Mclaughlan lives in Wimbledon. 

Now 99 years old, she talks to Mike Waddington about joining the Winton Players in 1948, and the productions she was part of up to 1957.

She remembers the founder, Joan Sare, with great affection and one of Winton's alumni, Edward Kelsey, who went on to fame in The Archers.

Quite probably the surviving member of the founders, Kathy remembers it all, recalled with great enthusiasm and excitement.

He came up with the idea of fundraising and chose Macmillan as three of his family members have been supported through cancer treatment. We hear from his very proud Nana and Mum and speak to Charlie about his fundraising.
