Transcript

00:00 Hi I'm Laura Reid, the Deputy Features Editor at the Yorkshire Post. I'm just

00:04 coming on to talk you through our week in features this week. So this is some

00:08 of the content that we've run online and in print in case you've missed it.

00:11 Lots of long reads to be going out over the weekend and we've of course got our

00:16 Yorkshire Post magazine published on Saturday as well with more features to

00:21 come there. So this week we spoke to author Adam Morgan Ibbotson who says

00:25 that Yorkshire has some of the best prehistoric monuments in the whole of

00:30 the world. Yorkshire dog groomer James Holbury told us how he overcame spinal

00:34 injury to compete and teach around the world and we heard from a Yorkshire

00:38 historian about women's role in the miners strike and the different stances

00:42 that were held during that turbulent year from 1984 to 1985. We hopped on

00:48 board the driver's cab of a TransPennine Express train to hear about delays,

00:52 training and trespassers and we explored how Yorkshire is leading the way when it

00:56 comes to rewilding efforts to support nature's recovery. We also heard how a

01:01 rugby accident changed the life of a training coal miner and launched his

01:05 career as a mouth painter and American singer Pippi Arnold has worked with

01:10 many of the greats in a career spanning 60 years, spoke to us ahead of a concert

01:15 at the Peace Hall in Halifax. Finally in Arts and Culture we reported on a new

01:19 dance performance piece that's receiving its world premiere at Leeds Art Gallery

01:24 this week. If you want to keep up to date with all the content from the features
