The Roseland Podcast- hello and call for content

Over the last week, I’ve been trying to think of a way I can help people during these interesting times. (yes, I mean corvid 19).

Last night I had the genius idea of creating a super-local podcast, that just covers stuff going on on the Roseland. Well, stuff not going on would be a little more accurate!

This first episode is a call-out to find out what you’d like to me to share and find some people I can interview.

So, who am I, and why me to do this? Well, my name’s Chloe Thomas I grew up on the Roseland, and about 5 years ago I moved back. I live here full time working from home as a podcast host and author. My usual subject matter is eCommerce and digital marketing - so this is going to be a little bit of leap into the dark for me, but I’m hoping it’ll work!!

I don’t think this podcast should be a news channel - we’ve all got plenty of places we can access medical and political opinion, and there’s the Roseland Online website too. Plus, it’s hard to do a podcast in real-time - so any news updates would inevitably be old news by the time I got them live.

Rather an at-least weekly audio show where I chat to one or two people of the peninsula and provide updates on useful information. I’m thinking the following topics - but I’m open to ideas:

• Services updates - takeaways, food deliveries, shop openings
• Help updates - I know Roseland Surgery Patients Group are busy with this - anyone else let me know
• Art, Culture, History - we’ve got lots of clever and interesting people here on the Roseland - who has a story to tell? Old Cornwall got any projects worth sharing? Any of our local authors fancy having a chat about your latest book?
• Education - any tutors fancy giving some tips on homeschooling?
• Religion - a lot of people will be missing their regular church and chapel services maybe we can do something to help here?
• Sport - in normal times I’d suggest updates from the local sports clubs.. .but not really sure how to include sport!
• Nature and farming - spring is all around us - anyone want to come on and talk about it?
• Music - got to be careful with copyright but there might be a way to add some

I can’t get out and about to find great content - so I’m relying on you to let me know if you’ve got something to share, or if you know of someone who I should be in contact with.

Do all of that via roselandpodcast@gmail.com

Technically I’ve got all the software to record and edit shows - so as a guest you can either phone in or log in to the recording online.

Everything is recorded in advance - so we can edit... This was a covid project - it's no longer running, but people are still listening, so we're leaving it up for you
