What happens when a supermarket door opens for a pigeon, but not for you? 😊

What do you do when you’re playing a Craggy Island priest, you’re browsing the Doc Martens in a shoe shop in your lunch hour, and you get offered a pair for free for being a man of the cloth?

These are just a couple of the things Ardal O’ Hanlon chats with me about before his latest stand up tour ‘Not Himself’ arrives at @westlandsyeovil on October 22nd.

I flipping love this conversation. I hope you do too. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face and you can hear it now, or whenever you fancy it, on @BeSomersetradio 📻 here:

We're creating a new EV charging network and we couldn't be more excited.

This week is all about our first build, as we create 'Charge & Go' for local communities, businesses, and sporting venues.

Let's get going! ⚡🚘

The @Frome_Festival starts tomorrow… a wonderful 10 day celebration of the arts & so much to get involved with.

@somersetcool has been chatting with Festival Director, Adam Laughton, to bring you more about what’s in store!

It’s been great to chat about Glastonbury a fair bit over the past few years, and some of it is packed into a little festival show on @BeSomersetradio.

It features lots of different stories, from Tommy Banner chatting about @TheWurzels at the Field of Avalon, to hazy memories of the first ever festival, topped with Beans on Toast’s pyramid stage leg injury!

There’s memories of working behind the scenes, mistakes that stay with you forever, and some musical highlights as well.

So, head here, have a listen, and share in the magic of Glastonbury wherever you are this weekend:

Thanks to everyone who has listened so far ❤️

Here’s a show for you packed with lots of #Glastonbury memories. From The Wurzels packing out the Field of Avalon, to hazy memories of the 1st ever Glasto, experience it through some of the stories Jenna’s collected from all kinds of performers & punters: https://t.co/KkILQkZ6BH

I always dread the Summer solstice because it is the time of the dog meat ‘festival’ in Yulin, China. Simply barbaric. Tens of thousands of dogs are tortured, killed and sold to eat.

It’s truly horrendous and this so called ‘festival’, and what happens all year round, is a huge stain on this world. This year some of @harbinshs have gone there to show what’s happening and make an impact.

If feel you want to do something at this time, follow them (they are most active on insta) and support their efforts.

We’re donating today, I will be educating myself more through their posts and experiences, and I will be hugging our little Iz whizz very tightly. If it wasn’t for Slaughterhouse Survivors Izzy’s life would be very different, if she even had one. I think about that often and about the dogs who have lost their lives in the cruelest ways possible.

Thank you slaughterhouse survivors for all that you are and all that you do x

Hello #somersethour. Are you up for a very special challenge? Pieces of a meaningful arts project need carrying up Glastonbury Tor on June 18th. More information is attached. Can you help? Let’s spread the word! #somerset

[Be Somerset @BeSomersetradio]

Evening #somersethour. Hope everyone is well. We’ve got chats with 2 legends coming up soon as we share interviews with Michael Rosen & Peggy Seeger. We’ll be chatting about an inspiring arts project coming to Glastonbury Tor & right now, you can hear from DJ Gary Davies… 1/2

[Jenna Myles @SomersetCool]

With almost 30K listens, my chat with @frossiofficial is my most listened to interview!

Tonight, Francis is at @westlandsyeovil on the last date of this leg of his UK tour (until it starts up again in September).

What can I say about Francis? He’s such a character and so lovely to talk with. He has so many interesting stories to share, so we’ll be in for a real treat in Yeovil tonight.

Here’s a clip of what you may, or may not, expect from the show! 😉

Final tickets are available here https://t.co/L548OT4R2B

And if you haven’t listened to my chat with Francis yet and you’d like to, head to @BeSomersetradio here:

Sharing ‘Somerset. The land I love’ to kick off the week. It's in celebration of the county, always, and Somerset Day yesterday. I wrote it a while ago, as a feelgood ode to a precious place.

Have a great week.
