Rachel Burrows from Potterne in Wiltshire has uploaded a poetry piece about taking in the awe inspiring location of St Lawrence Seaway with her young family and eating breakfast with the sound of whales in the bay. She wrote the poem as a way of capturing the location as she felt photos alone didn't do it justice. Community worker turned podcaster Melanie Benn has uploaded an episode of her organisations podcast 'The Community Action Pod' which helps to shine a light on community led projects in the Forest of Dean area. Adam chats to her about why she started the podcast and what it is that she loves about it so much. But also about the kit she uses to record it. Frome based poet Lily Bell has uploaded a poem that's her response to the state of addiction.

Cheltenham Literature Festival took place last week and our reporter Jo Durrant was there chatting to all the authors and big name guest speakers. This week we hear her chats with TV presenter Fern Britton about her new book 'The Older I Get' as well as the life altering events that happened to her that made her start over again. Plus comedian, actor and now author of crime thriller 'Curtain Call to Murder' - Julian Clarey chats to Jo Durrant all about why he decided to turn his hand to writing a murder mystery.

Scottish comedian Larry Dean talks to 成人快手 Upload's Chris Arnold all about his brand new tour 'Dodger' and also shares his top tips for emerging comedians.
