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

• Fresh from picking up a massive gong at last week's National Podcast Awards - discover King's Norton podcaster Hugh Sheehan - who's firmly shining the spotlight on a lesser known wrong in recent history.

• He might just be your next favourite comedian: Get to know Ryan S Lewis, from Smethwick, who'll inspire your socks off as the winner of this year's Birmingham Comedy Festival Breaking Talent Prize.

• Forget Handy Andy or Nick Knowles - meet the newest member of the TV fixer-upper brigade - who's a Staffordshire social media sensation. Scott Baggaley, from Clayton, has gone from sharing his own self-build extension three years ago, to half a million followers on Instagram alone, and this year picked up a gig on Channel 4.

• Putting a Peep Show spin on Beethoven's Fur Elise - meet Sarah Farrington, the Warwickshire writer who's found the funny where few others might have found it.

• An incredible writer from Shrewsbury, who's at the helm of not one but two open mic nights! Hear from Claire Brown from Shrewsbury, who opens up on how writing aids her mental health and empowers other people about theirs.

• Another comedian fresh from the Birmingham Comedy Festival: Catch up with Tamworth's Jules O'Brien, a shining example of a West Midlands funnywoman becoming a firm fixture on the circuit.

• It's the film that's gone on to win 50 awards in all - and it's having a very special homecoming screening this weekend. Discover the World War Two Worcestershire-made thriller The Shamrock Spitfire, which picked up rave reviews all over the world.
