The Parched Pea Pod
By National World
Welcome to the Parched Pea Podcast which is lifting the lid on the people and places that make the Lancashire city of Preston the fascinating place it is. In this podcast you join our host, well known local broadcaster John Gilly Gilmore as he explores the city, talking to Prestonians with one thing in common...they all have a compelling story to tell. This podcast series is a collaboration between the Lancashire Post, Blog Preston and Central Radio and has been brought to you with the support of our friends 'Cosy Homes in Lancashire' who provide free grants, support and advice towards a greener, warmer home.
The podcast was recorded and edited by Nathan Hill with additional voice recording by Nicola Adam and production support from Ed Walker and Kelly Crichton.
