The PPod - on location with the Renaissance Choir at St Peters

Author: Petersfield's Shine Radio March 8, 2026 Duration: 34:38

This time we’re on location in the heart of Petersfield at St Peter’s Church in the Square.  We’re with members of the Renaissance Choir, who are celebrating a very special milestone this year - their 50th anniversary. They have a special concert coming up here later this month called “The Spanish Golden Age”.  Listen in in as we to meet the singers, hear about the choir’s history and find out what’s coming up for their anniversary year.

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.
