I took part in a radio interview on community station to talk about 150 years of the Express & Star
As the Express & Star celebrates 150 years of providing the Black Country and the region as a whole with unrivalled news and sports coverage, I was pleased to be invited by Ian Henery to talk about the anniversary, including the past and future.

Ian is someone who is no stranger to the pages or websites of the Express & Star, being a Walsall based renowned poet, author and writer who also helps run a community space in Whitmore Reans and gets involved in many initiatives and projects.
But he also presents a weekly radio show on community station Black Country Xtra with fellow hosts husband and wife team Barry Harper and Linda Harper-Hocknull.
Linda and Ian's wife Irene produce the show meticulously from timings to music and running order and make sure everything runs smoothly.
Ian opened the show with a joke about being turned down for a job at a sandwich shop as the role had already been filled and then there was a Rudyard Kipling poetry reading from Barry before my first choice of music and then the interview.
