Welcome to From the Midlands, a series of podcasts with the extraordinary people who are making a difference to the lives of people who live and work here. From giving a helping hand to people in need to achievements in the fields of technology, sport, business, film and much, much more, we celebrate the men and women from the Midlands. The podcasts are the creation of journalist and broadcaster Gail Downey who wanted a place to share the good news stories and the great work of people in our region.
