Hello,


So this event isn't based in ED, but we are!

Foyles bookshop have asked us (WordPlay) [www.wordplayeducation.co.uk] to create a podcast series based on this year's summer Lit festival for children & young adults - The Story Box Festival.


We are looking for children aged 8-16 to help us out to host the podcast - there will be several fantastic events throughout the summer reading festival and we would like our young hosts, presenters and reporters to interview authors, have discussions based on the events, help write the script for the podcast and present the festival news!

If you would like your child to take part, please do email us on workshops@wordplayeducation.co.uk or send me a PM on here.


We're really excited about this project.


Finally, we are also running two radio drama challenges at Foyles, Charing Cross branch in case you have budding radio star kids who would love to write and perform their very own live radio play:

We're looking forward to hearing from you!

Thanks to everyone who contacted us - we can't wait to work with your kids on this fabulous audio project!


We have just one slot left to fill (for two children), if anyone else would like their children to co-host the Story Box Podcast-Kids Takeover, do just let us know!

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
