Sunday Sarnie 4: "The Baa Witch Project" - Ether AudioZine

August 09, 2015

Join Nick Brownlee and Sarah Ledger as they take a sidelong look at the news making the headlines in Cumbria.

This week Nick and Sarah are joined by journalist, blogger and peer of the realm Ellis Butcher to discuss such headline-grabbing stories as the Berkshire teens menaced on the Lakeland fells (http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/rescuers-aid-lakes-fell-walkers-chased-by-wild-animals-1.1224557) by "wild animals", the Cumbrian pop star inconvenienced by the Calais migrant crisis (http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/calais-crisis-delays-carlisle-singer-s-single-release-1.1224698), and Kendal Mint Cake liqueur.

They also ask why Cumbrian businesses are being accused of freeloading by tourist bosses, and whether 20,000 Facebook 'likes' constitutes a news story.

Bees and seagulls make their regular appearance, while in the new MyPod segment Sands Centre ents supremo Jonathan Higgins chooses the five tunes he would never delete from his iPod.
