It’s a fresh new month and there are a couple of great new shows coming up on FromeFM.

Time Of The Month. Men, do you ever find yourself wondering how women think? Well, now’s your chance to find out in this light entertainment topical talk show. Hosted by a crack team of well-versed women, Time of the Month brings you the latest issues from a female perspective. Expect discussion, deliberation and maybe just a little debauchery. Time Of The Month is a new show presented by a mix of FromeFM regulars including Suzi Holland (Alt Factor) and Jenny Watkins (Breakfast Show) as well as some new “hens” to the flock Helen White and Lottie Wright. The first show is at 1pm on Saturday 4th May and is repeated the following Thursday.

Local schoolchildren will be the ones asking the questions on Sunday morning on FromeFM as they interview three people whose stories were featured in the Working Memories book.

Three contributors to the book, which celebrates the social and working history of the town, were interviewed by children from Christchurch, Berkley and Vallis schools in a pre-recorded programme to be broadcast on Sunday 28 at 11am.

The Working Memories book was produced by community group Home in Frome and Helen Ottaway from the group presents the radio programme which also includes interviews with John Payne about how the book came about and Brinnie Humm about the involvement of the schools.

To prepare the year three and four children for their interviewing role, Brinnie Humm visited the three local schools to carry out workshops where they talked about the book and devised questions to ask.

On the day, Diane Rouse, Dennis Barnard and Pete Stone, whose stories feature in the book, sat in front of the microphone to take the carefully prepared questions from the youngsters.

In the programme, Eve Nielsen and Orrin Keep ask Pete Stone about what it was like to work for Butler and Tanner while Malachi Milne and Isabelle Neale quiz Dennis Barnard about his time in National Service. Millie Light, Willow Hunter and Kamil Pietzyk question Diane Rouse about why she only had cake on Saturdays. Mrs Ottaway said: “This is part of a new initiative by FromeFM to pilot local radio directed at and made by children and young people.

“Home in Frome is always interested in finding new ways to get people thinking about the history and community of the town so we thought getting young people involved in asking questions about the book would be another great way to do this – and having a local radio station means we can share that with the town.”

The show will also be repeated at the same time on Friday May 3 and Tuesday May 7, or to download from Frome Working Memories.
