The Darley Dale Community Radio Podcast

This Week We Walk Through The Potential Holiday Park Site in Farley With Carol Taylor

Yep, I was up with the lark this morning to chat with Carol Taylor who amongst others is campaigning against the proposed construction of a log cabin holiday park on Farley Lane near to the Matlock Farm Park site. It's beautiful woodland that many people use but should we be benefiting from companies who want to invest in the area, bring trade, money and jobs? You can decide. 

In the Heart of Darley Dale we meet Michelle Waters from DEBFIB4LIFE

I managed to grab an hour with the incredibly busy Michelle Waters of DEFIB4LIFE, suppliers of a huge range of Defibrillators and Bleed Control Kits, items that could Save Someone's Life! Over a cuppa we chat about what a Defib is, training, how many machines are needed, where to find one and what they do! Michelle is brilliant. I hope you enjoy the chat as much as I did.

This Week We Meet Anna-Louise Pickering

When an email arrives inviting you to talk about the incredible work of Pollyanna Pickering, you absolutely jump at the chance. That's what happened this week and I met with Anna-Louise Pickering to talk about the incredible work she and her late mother have been involved in and the exhibition in Oker from the 22nd June to celebrate 40 years of the Born Free Foundation.

This Week We Meet Darley Dale Mayor and Town Council Chair Jason Farmer

I managed to grab a coffee with the very busy Jason Farmer, Chair of Darley Dale Town Council, Mayor of the Parish! We chat about everything from cutting ribbons to a Mayoral Legacy!

Hope you find our chat as interesting as I did.

It's The Derbyshire Open Arts Festival Weekend!

I managed to grab a quick chat with the current chair of Derbyshire Open Arts Peter Singer and Rebecca Gallagher, both Darley Dale based artists who are opening their doors to the public over the bank holiday weekend! Set up an tour visiting some very talented local people

This Week We Meet Mark and Craig from REEL Productions

Three men, one microphone, a bill for three expensive coffees, chit chat for half an hour and a classic podcast is made! Yep, this week Darley Dale Community Radio chats with video makers, song creators, and ad makers REEL Productions to find out how it all began. Grab a brew and join us!

Lets meet the Reverend Stephen Monk in St Helens Church

I popped along to the very beautiful St Helens Church in Darley Dale to chat with Stephen Monk about his life from childhood through to his work within the church, the current situations around the globe and the part religions of various faiths play, his workload with the area and his love of one of the scariest rock stars in music history! Let's meet Stephen Monk!!
