What is Trentbelly? Inside the first river-focused episode of local podcast NottsPod

Wed 09 Sept 2026

After one of his pupils caught a case of ‘Trentbelly’, the local nomenclature for illness caught from a polluted River Trent, secondary school teacher Tom Suchoruczka became curious about how the river got to the state it is now. This led Tom to team up with Notts historian and YouTuber Michael Krawec, and together they went down a research wormhole which culminated in Trentbelly – the first series of new podcast NottsPod. Here, by way of laying the groundwork for that, Michael talks us through the winding history of Nottingham’s modern day water system.

The New Toolkit Behind Small Business Marketing In West Norfolk

Wed 29 Jul 2026

The way small businesses market themselves in towns like King's Lynn has quietly transformed over the past few years. The hand-drawn poster in the window and the leaflet through the door still have their place, and always will, but the bulk of the work of attracting customers now happens on a screen. What has changed most is not where the marketing happens, which has been drifting online for a long time, but the tools that local traders are now using to produce it. Those tools have become dramatically more capable and far more affordable, and the effect on small businesses is real.
