For many years, Oswestry Life Magazine has been the voice of all things Oswestry. Now, we have launched The Oswestry Life Podcast, a new, uplifting, good-news series that will celebrate all things Oswestry.
The new podcast shines a spotlight on our local community and celebrate the stories that matter most to you. And we want to hear what you think!
David-Lee Birch, Co-creator of Oswestry Life Magazine, said, “When we’re putting the magazine together, we’re always inundated with amazing stories from people in town and the surrounding areas. We get to hear them all, but there often isn’t space to include them.”
“This is where the idea of the podcast came from – we want to share these uplifting and moving stories with everyone.”
We have partnered with esteemed local marketing experts Martin & Jones Marketing and podcasting specialist Charlotte Foster to continue the magazine’s success—sharing more of your voices and enhancing our reach beyond the 7,000 monthly publications and a social media following of over 35,000.
“Podcasts have the power to really bring local communities together,” stated Charlotte Foster, podcast producer. “Gone are the days when you would bump into a neighbour at the corner shop and update each other on family happenings. Podcasts can help us to connect again.”
This is your podcast, so we invite you to get involved with our exciting new project, as we connect, inform, and inspire through the power of your good-news stories.
The debut series, comprising three episodes, embraces the theme of spring. Listeners can look forward to insightful discussions on health and wellbeing, the awakening of nature, and the exciting new developments shaping the town.
Plus, the podcast team took to the streets in February, capturing authentic voices and spontaneous reflections from Oswestrians, asking them what puts a spring in their step.
Ruth Martin of Martin & Jones Marketing, a member of the podcast team, remarked, “Despite a dreary February day, the enthusiasm we encountered was overwhelming. People were eager to share their experiences and what they love about Oswestry. It was truly inspiring.”
The first series is generously sponsored by Kim at KC Accountancy Services. Kim expressed, “I immediately wanted to support this project. We need more positive stories, and I want to share my pride in Oswestry with everyone.”
