Sunday Night Stories
The Forgotten
Produced by Emily Wilden
Welcome to Sunday Night Stories, tonight I’d like to share a documentary I produced about Eastville Workhouse, a burial ground and an actress.
This piece was created for BCfm’s project 12 communities 1 Bristol, which explores the heritage of different areas in Bristol.
BCfm is a community radio station dedicated to representing the many underserved members or groups within Bristol that don't get access to the airwaves via an award winning schedule of music, speech and creative programming.
BCfm is currently crowd funding to rebuild their studios after a fire completely destroyed their main studio. As a community radio they will need all the support they can get to help them back on their feet.

The Final Meeting
Written by Matt Gopsill
Narrated by Jess Lloyd-Jones
Happy Sunday and happy August! Tonight we have Jess Lloyd Jones narrating another of Matt Gopsill’s wonderful poems. Here is The Final Meeting. 
Here’s a little about Matt..
“My name is Matt and I am just a normal man with some wheels strapped to me. My background is in computing and I thought that was where my talents lied, but in my spare time I was writing poetry. Usually to get things off my chest and yes sometimes for valentines day! I was finding I really enjoyed writing and people loved what I had written so I semi secretly wrote more. Last July I went to the Word with someone who was performing and really enjoyed listening to the different genres and thought I am going to see if I can read one of mine. Rob Gee was host so I kind of knew him and he said course. So I was a little nervous because I use a computer to talk for me and I had never spoken a poem out loud, it went ok and I got a round of applause! I had to tell everyone I was writing poetry and come out then.
My writing has come on so much from then in quality and quantity, writing poetry about any topic being funny or serious. I just wait for inspiration to come and I never know what poetry I am going to write next which is quite exciting. I have now set up a blog called partdalek.com and looking for places to publish my work.”
