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

00:05 to talk you through our week in features this week. So this is some of the content that

00:09 we've run online and in print in case you've missed it. Lots of long reads to be going

00:14 at over the weekend and we've of course got our Yorkshire Post magazine published on Saturday

00:19 as well with more features to come there. So this week we spoke to author Adam Morgan

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

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

00:35 to compete and teach around the world and we heard from a Yorkshire historian about

00:39 women's role in the miners' strike and the different stances that were held during that

00:43 turbulent year from 1984 to 1985. We hopped on board the driver's cab of a TransPenninexpress

00:51 train to hear about delays, training and trespassers and we explored how Yorkshire is leading the

00:56 way when it comes to rewilding efforts to support nature's recovery. We also heard

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

01:06 as a mouthpainter and American singer Pippi Arnold who's worked with many of the greats

01:11 in a career spanning 60 years spoke to us ahead of a concert at the Peace Hall in Halifax.
