Podcasts! Are you a listener to these? A bit like a radio show, you download them to your phone, tablet or computer, and listen when you want. I find them on the BBC Sounds app, but you can download them from websites or a podcast app.
Now we have one about bell ringing, called Fun With Bells! In each episode Cathy Booth interviews someone who reveals more about the world of ringing and, at the end of each episode, Pip Penney answers listeners’ questions. This season’s topics include:
•The Ringing Remembers campaign• Prolific peal and tower grabbing• Ringing in other parts of the world• The different ringing types in Southwest England •How to record your bells •Striking competitions •Hand bell ringing’s links to tower bell ringing •What it’s like to be a young ringer
