Improv in the West Midlands

Hear what happened when Edinburgh Fringe-bound Improv Wolves created magic from listeners' prompts! Plus an award-winning Worcester spoken word artist, with Nina Das Gupta.

We're celebrating the best creatives where we live, including:

• What connects people falling in love with a Birmingham refuse collector, a song about the M6 Toll, and a statue made of earwax in Droitwich? Find out the answer, courtesy of the Wolverhampton-based Edinburgh Fringe-bound group Improv Wolves - who let us hijack their latest rehearsals!

• Discovering the unsuspecting Warwickshire podcaster who's barely a month in to his new series, Life in Leam - but is already clocking up downloads in the thousands.

• Take a splash of Worcestershire sauce, add in a sprinkle of university homesickness, mix with lashings of heart and gallons thoughtful spoken word: You'll end up with an award-winning poetry slammer from Worcester - Abbey Meynell - who shares her recipe to nailing your three minutes on stage in the spotlight.

• The rising Stourport photographer who's gone from being behind one type of camera to another - creating an incredible documentary capturing the art of nailing that perfect shot.
