The Floods: One Year On

Posted in Adam, Broadcasting and Media, News and that by Adam Westbrook on July 23, 2008

Last year I reported extensively on the widespread flooding which affected parts of Warwickshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

It was the first big story I ever covered and in the year since I’ve reported on the slow clear up and the impact it has had on local peoples’ lives.

To mark the first anniversary this month I was asked to produce a 30 minute documentary for 102 Touch Radio looking back at the events and asking if anything has changed.

I’ve uploaded the programme in two 10 minute chunks for anyone who wants a listen…enjoy and any comments always helpful!

Answer: when they packed in loads of adverts! It took 30 mins to broadcast anyway!

Let us know if you get a few mins to have a butchers…

Sounds good dudeo. Lots of great audio, perhaps a slightly over-dramatic opening? Basically sounds great to me though.

[…] July 2007, drying myself off from the floods, I remember telling myself to put together a guide to how to cope. But I never got round to it, and […]
