Hello, my name is Penny and I host What’s On: Penny’s Picks on Cirencester Radio, which airs every month at 8pm on a Wednesday. The show covers events coming up in around Cirencester with special emphasis on supporting charities and all the hard work they do.
If you have anything you would like me to mention on the show, please do get in touch: pennycarpenter@cirencesterradio.com. As well as giving shout-outs to local concerts, fetes, fundraisers, Clubs, fun runs and cake sales, I also cover local theatre, cinema, restaurants and bars. We have so much to enjoy here in Cirencester!
The show includes music too, established artists as well as new talent. I have been presenting my show for over a year now and have featured the local artist Weather, London Street Busker Charlotte Campbell, Elvis, Bowie, as well as classical and jazz music and who can resist songs from the musicals.
Every month I also include two or three interviews, and wow, have we had a few giggles and learnt some things along the way. Laurence Llewyln Bowen told us all about the set design for Troi, Emma, Beth and Stuart from the Museum, NBA, and The Barn spoke about Project Orpheus, and we heard from winners of the Cirencester Community Awards.
Penny’s Picks also featured the ‘Book Nook’ earlier this year with interviews with authors and publishers. It was a real privilege to speak to such talented people. If you have a moment, have a read of ‘Kirin of the Dobunni’ and don’t forget the hidden musical talents of Cirencester Library’s very own Dan Billings.
