We're working on a new podcast, a three part series exploring the importance of peat and wetlands at Broads National Park.

As lovers of nature and the environment, it's taken us to some beautiful locations to record, and we've been learning so much about Britain's largest protected wetland in the process. We're looking forward to sharing it with you soon!

Led by Andrea Kelly from the Broads Authority and supported by the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and the Environment Agency.

We've loved supporting the development of this brilliant new podcast about Norwich's iconic Anglia Square, especially as our studio is right around the corner...

In the north of Norwich, after decades of decline, a dilapidated 1960s development is facing demolition and regeneration. But what about the artists losing their studio space, the businesses forced to shut their doors, and the residents readying themselves for decades of construction?

In this four-part series, writer Sarah Herman heads to Anglia Square to find some answers. Over six months in 2025, she spoke to locals about their memories, fears, and hopes for what comes next.

Listen in wherever you get your podcasts, or head to: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2544718/episodes
