Gloomy outlook for local boozers

Sunday 8th March 2009, 12:01AM GMT.

In this week’s podcast, Andy Richardson looks at the problems faced by local pubs, Carl Jones previews a new competition and Chris Hudson rounds-up the county’s sports news.

There’s also a look back to an unusual that took place in Telford, when human rights campaigners dressed as pieces of fruit and protested about the alleged mistreatment of workers in Honduras.

Cinema critic Carl Jones also previews a shaggy dog story; he looks forward to the forthcoming release of a new blockbuster, Marley And Me. The film tells the story of one man’s travails with his pet dog.
