Description

My hometown newspaper, The Shepparton News, has undergone a remarkable change - it's now almost entirely a digital publication, switching from five print editions each week to just two. However, it will still be available to subscribers seven days a week via its digital editions.

The change brings many benefits, particularly for those who follow this podcast, as all those stories the newspaper publishes about climate-related issues will be available in text-to-audio style and so can be included with the first being: "Locals encouraged to make the switch to electric living";
