We're celebrating the best creatives where we live, with Phillip Stoneman in for Nina Das Gupta, including:

• He's the podcaster wowing audiences all over the world with his stunning stories of grizzly British history, rooted in Cheshire and the Staffordshire Moorlands. Get to know the Northwich-based Local Mythstorian.

• On-set-certified secrets to nailing your Halloween get-up, courtesy of Birmingham effects artist 'Bloody Jojo'. She's worked on Aquaman and can pretty go much go swimming in the amount of fake blood and silicone she uses every year.

• She's the Dudley writer who can find the funny in almost anything. Laura Patricia Jones is on with her latest effort: A coffee shop come café - which swaps your dead-eyed hipsters for sassy witches selling sourdough spells, ethically-sourced vengeance cakes and feminist hexes wrapped in compostable packaging.

• Six years and bigger than ever: Previewing next month's Black Country Horror Short Film Festival, where winners get a glass jar and audiences live on the edges of the seats from the finest filmmakers around the world.
