Tile Hill's Pride of Place Project in Full: Fostering New Connections

What is the role of the library in the 21st century? Who are the people that pass through its doors? And what role does it play in the wider community?

In this exclusive podcast series we meet the faces and voices living and working near Tile Hill library.

Because these days - libraries are about far more than just borrowing a book.

From the community led groups, to the librarians, to the local artists, to the borrowers - what impact does the library have on their lives in the present day?

We’ll meet artists in residence Jan Williams and Chris Teasdale aka The Caravan Gallery. As well as Caroline Backhouse and The Curious Creatives Club, plus members of St Oswald’s Church.

'Digital Spaces present' is the culmination of a Coventry Libraries Project supported by The Space and with funding from Arts Council England and the BFI.

Presented by Clare Freeman. Visit coventry.gov.uk/libraries for more information.

The Podcast Coach: Helping ordinary people share extraordinary stories.

Aged 10, I dreamt of having my own production company called A Small Furry Bear. I presented radio shows on a ghetto blaster in my bedroom with my little brother. Now, some 20+ years later, as a podcast coach and presenter - that day dream has become an everyday reality.

Question is, how can we make your dreams of presenting a podcast come true as well?
