• The brand new BBC Sounds podcast which lifts the lid on one of our area's most grizzly true crime cases, as we discover the secrets of The Cop, The Kidnap and The Killer.

• From Cotteridge and taking on the world: Meet comedian Rachel Baker, who takes us in to a deep dive in to character comedy and life as an MC.

• Putting Stourbridge on the map through murals: Discover how the walls are alive with the sound of music, specifically The Wonderstuff, Ned's Atomic Dustbin and Pop Will Eat Itself, courtesy of Cal the Artist.

• Checking in with the Kidderminster writer and wordsmith championed by BBC 6Music, The Humdrum Express, who's preparing to release another book of poetry.
