Hi everyone 😊 I’m Karen Basra, and I run the Explore Edgbaston community platform alongside my podcast, where I shine a light on the amazing people, businesses and stories right here in our local area ❤️ I’m really passionate about supporting local and bringing people together – and one of the things I love most is recording the podcast directly inside local businesses. It gives a real feel for the place, helps promote them, and creates a relaxed, genuine conversation about community life. So far, I’ve been chatting with some brilliant local guests, and I’m always looking to connect with more! I’ve taught myself how to podcast, funded it myself and invested in equipment, learning as I go with every episode to keep improving and supporting local ❤️ If you’d like to: ✨ Support local businesses ✨ Discover what’s happening in Edgbaston & Harborne ✨ Hear real, inspiring local stories. Please have a listen and follow along 👇 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/48BOQ78YcMbN2bY4zF4JVp 📱 Facebook: Explore Edgbaston 🐾 And yes… Benji is usually involved too! If you own a business (or know someone who does) and would like me to come and record a podcast there, I’d absolutely love to hear from you 😊 Thanks so much for the support everyone 🙏 Karen x
