ABOUT US
We are a group of volunteers who prepare a weekly recording of articles taken from local publications, and it also includes other local information and topics that are of interest to our listeners. This is a free service.
The recording is made available to our listeners onlinethe same day, using the Talking Newspaper application, the library on our website, or Amazon Alexa.
If you have Alexa why not listen to our last recording, it is ever so easy?
All you have to say is:-
“Alexa – enable Talking Newspapers” Then
“Alexa – open Talking Newspapers”
When requested,
“Oswestry” and then “Yes” to confirm.
For those of our listeners who do not have online access, the recording is provided on a memory stick and delivered in a yellow zipped pouch by Royal Mail. The listener would be provided with an easy-to-use media player.
