the P pod on location around Petersfield

Step out of the studio and into the heart of the town with the P pod on location around Petersfield. Each episode is recorded somewhere new within the Petersphere, bringing the microphone directly to the people and places that define this community. Hosted by Julie Butler, Phill Humphries, and Laura Sheppard, the conversations are unscripted and genuine, capturing the character of local life through the stories of neighbours, shopkeepers, artists, and volunteers you might pass in the street. This isn't a polished production about far-flung destinations; it's an audio postcard from home, exploring the societal threads, cultural quirks, and very specific sense of place that makes Petersfield unique. The soundscape itself is a feature-you'll hear the ambient buzz of the market, the quiet of a historical site, or the familiar clatter of a favourite café, making every listen an immersive experience. Produced entirely by volunteers for Petersfield's Shine Radio, this podcast thrives on a spirit of local connection. It’s a collective effort, with research by Ann Marden, ensuring the stories are rooted and real. Tune in for a friendly, meandering chat that feels like joining a conversation already in progress, always discovering a new corner and a new perspective on the town you thought you knew.
