  <title>Black Country Talking News 01st July 2026</title>
  <description>In this week’s edition we have:

All the latest from Beacon; with the lifestyle newsletter for July with Dan.

Some fascinating news and nostalgia from across the Black Country, including guidance on how to spot heat exhaustion.

You’ll have to be nimble minded, as we have another challenging Number Puzzle Quiz from Roger and Meena.

Meena also has the latest forecast for the week ahead.

We continue our journey “’round the Wrekin” with Michael and Lesley Braccia.

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.

And with Armed Forces Day being celebrated last weekend, with thanks to TNF soundings, we hear the second and final part of some wartime memories from Nancy Bailey a member of the Womens' Auxiliary Air Force or WAAF, during the Second World War.</description>
