Black Country Talking News 19th August 2026

In this week’s edition we have:

All the latest from Beacon with Helen and Muhammed.

There is some fascinating news and nostalgia from across the Black Country, including details of a hidden local gem, tucked away behind the trees and stone walls of Goldthorn Park, Wolverhampton.

You’ll have to be nimble-minded, as we also have another number puzzle challenge from Roger, and Quiz with Meena.

We hear from Meena who has the forecast for the week ahead.

With the domestic football season up and running, we have all the latest news from the Weekend’s action for Wolves and West Brom- including the Football Fanzone with our prized pundit Frazer!

And with thanks to TNF soundings contributor Liz, we have Episode 2 of a 3-part series about one of our greatest ever storytellers- and the author of Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson.
