Adam Crowther brings you more incredible talent from across the West Country.

Cirencester based writer Stephen Connolly has uploaded an audio play that involves a hot air balloon, a priest, the Cerne Abbas Giant and a big question. Adam Elms from Bristol has uploaded a poem that was inspired by his observations of people while he was using Bristol Central Library as a workspace. HJ Smith is a poet who has been supported by the Raise the Bar spoken word talent development programme. We hear their poem 'Baggage' which looks at navigating the world of dating as a single mum.

Archie McWatt created an audio documentary as part of his master's degree at UWE in Bristol that looks at the metal detectorists of Bristol and Gloucester. Adam chats to Archie all about how he created it and what he learnt from the process. Plus Brian Price from the writers group 'Writers in Stone' based in Weston-super-Mare is featured with his story 'Echoes in the Park' which looks at the part RAF Locking played in the Battle of Britain.
