NEWSWAVE - Popstars, Puppies and Pitches

Join our reporter Tom Howe for NEWSWAVE, your weekly rundown of the top stories happening across St Austell and surrounding areas. In the latest episode, we hear from Atomic Kitten star Natasha Hamilton, who discusses her new EP Extraction, her independent label Morpho Records, and her journey as a solo artist. We welcome Leanne Bawden from the RSPCA’s Cornwall Branch, which is appealing for £2,000 to help fund treatment for Peanut, a four-month-old puppy recovering from severe mange. Programme Officer Jonah Corren stops by to explore how the Literature Works and The Literacy Consultancy are offering free professional feedback to low-income writers across the South West and helping aspiring authors develop their work. And we hear from Fowey Town Crier Alan Giles, who has been shortlisted to represent Cornwall at this year’s World Town Crier Tournament in Chester.If you live or work in the St Austell area and have a news story for us, contact [email protected].
