About this episode

This episode covers local news updates, a nostalgic look at the FIFA World Cup, and features a segment from Puppy Academy.

In this week’s edition: We find out what’s been happening at Beacon with the latest update from Helen and Muhammed. We have all the latest news from across the Black Country. With the FIFA Football World Cup 2026 now just over a week away, we sail our way across the Atlantic, for some fascinating nostalgia from 40 years ago, to the last time the competition was held in one of this year’s host countries. Introducing a quite fascinating story about a group of Wolves fans who famously went to the 1986 World Cup in Mexico - and loved it so much, they didn’t come back. We hear from Meena who has the forecast for the week ahead. With thanks to Guide Dogs and St Albans & District Talking News, we introduce Episode 8 of Puppy Academy, a monthly series following Charlotte the trainer as she continues the journey with her latest puppy recruits. And no ‘loafing’ around here- ‘Ciabatta’ be ready - as last but not ‘yeast’ - we have a bread themed audio-descriptive i-Spy challenge from Soundings Contributor Lindsay.
