Black Country Talking News 28th January 2026

In this week’s edition we have:

All the latest from Beacon with Helen and Muhammed, plus Beacon’s Lifestyle Newsletter for February, with Dan.

The latest news from the Black Country.

You’ll have to be nimble-minded, as we have the first of a new series for 2026. A simple number puzzle with Roger and Meena, using mental arithmetic to keep our brains active.

We continue our journey “’round the Wrekin” with Michael and Lesley Braccia, who this month, take us on a journey through the airwaves, with fond memories of radio stations and programmes from the past.

With temperatures still holding up and keeping any winter bite at bay, we hear from Meena, who has the forecast for the week ahead.

However, points seemed to have been frozen for our region’s football teams, as we have another less than fruitful weekend of action for both West Brom and Wolves.

And of course, we have the latest goings-on from the village of Leeford!- our exclusive drama series, written by local authors Jon Markes and Michael Braccia - with audio also provided by Michael and Lesley Braccia.
