This time on Voices of One Fylde, John Goodall takes over the interviewer's chair as he sits down with fellow Tune-Ability presenter Elizabeth, better known on air as DJ Dropsteppz. Elizabeth talks about her two very different shows, DJ Dropsteppz’ 90’s Mix and DJ Dropsteppz’ Remix Files, her love of music and how she's developed her skills behind the scenes, including editing Remix Files herself. John also discovers there's much more to Elizabeth than music, as the conversation turns to her rather impressive knowledge of obscure footballers! It's a relaxed chat between two Tune-Ability presenters about music, radio, learning new skills and finding something you really enjoy doing.
In this special episode of Voices of One Fylde, John Goodall and Rebecca Carter-Lindsay celebrate an exciting new chapter for Tune Ability. From September, Tune Ability programmes will have a regular home on NewDawn FM at 11am every weekday, alongside a dedicated Sunday special. That means a bigger audience, new listeners and another platform for our presenters and the shows they create.  John and Rebecca talk about why the partnership matters, what it means to become part of NewDawn’s regular schedule, and why inclusion works best when presenters with a learning disability or autism are simply given the space to make great radio alongside everyone else.  They also reflect on the confidence, communication and practical skills that radio can build, how far Tune Ability has come, and the excitement of knowing that completely new listeners could soon be discovering the people behind the microphones.  More voices. More listeners. A bigger platform for Tune Ability. Listen to NewDawn FM here: https://newdawn.fm/
Fylde MP Andrew Snowden returns to Voices of One Fylde for his second interview with Marilyn Booth, Rebecca Carter-Lindsay and John Goodall. This time, the team looks at some of the biggest stories affecting Fylde, including the proposed council reorganisation bringing Fylde, Wyre and Blackpool together, the future of adult social care, new housing plans around Lytham St Annes, the redevelopment of St Annes Swimming Pool, the growth of local Banking Hubs and the latest developments surrounding the Morgan and Morecambe offshore wind projects. John sets out the background to each story before Marilyn and Rebecca put the questions directly to Andrew, giving him the chance to explain his views and what he believes should happen next. The conversation also looks ahead to what Andrew would most like to see change across Fylde in the years to come. A friendly, accessible and properly researched conversation about the local decisions that could shape the future of Fylde. Voices of One Fylde is also broadcast on Tune Ability.
What starts as a simple idea on an iPad can become a greetings card, a tote bag, a T-shirt or even a custom commission. In this episode of Voices of One Fylde, Marilyn Booth is joined by Andy Clark, making his podcast debut, to explore One Fylde's growing Digital Enterprise with session lead Lou Lord and participant Eleanor Siddall. Together they discover how creativity, technology and enterprise are helping people develop new skills, build confidence and turn original artwork into high-quality products.  Lou shares how her background as an artist, designer and qualified art teacher has helped transform the sessions into a thriving creative enterprise, where participants learn everything from digital illustration and printing techniques to producing items for sale and completing customer commissions. The team also discuss why recognising every artist's work, through their own digital signature, is such an important part of the process.  There's also time to hear from Eleanor about her experience of Digital Enterprise, the new skills she's learned and how the sessions encourage everyone to be creative, support one another and try something new. Looking to the future, Lou shares her ambitions for exhibitions, craft fairs and growing the enterprise even further, ensuring more people can discover the talented artists behind the work.  It's an inspiring conversation about creativity, opportunity and proving that Digital Enterprise is about much more than making art—it's about helping people discover what they're capable of.
What happens when two organisations with a shared passion for supporting people with learning disabilities come together to learn from one another? In this special episode of Voices of One Fylde, Marilyn is joined by One Fylde CEO Tracey Bush and Stephen Veevers, Chief Executive of HFT, following a two-day visit exploring everything One Fylde has to offer. Together they reflect on the experiences, conversations and ideas that came from the visit, from community projects and supported living to employment opportunities, creative enterprises and Tune-Ability.  Stephen shares his first impressions of One Fylde, the importance of putting the people we support at the centre of everything we do, and the ideas he'll be taking back to HFT. Tracey discusses the value of opening our doors, showcasing the confidence and achievements of the people we support, and how partnerships like this help organisations learn from one another and continue to grow.  It's an uplifting conversation about collaboration, shared values and why working together can create even more opportunities for the people we all support.
