00:00 Hi, I'm Laura Reid, the Deputy Features Editor at the Yorkshire Post. I'm just going to talk
00:05 you through some of the features that we've run online and in print this week. Lots to
00:10 be going at for some long reads this weekend and we've of course got our Yorkshire Post
00:15 magazine as well published on Saturday as part of our weekend edition with lots more
00:21 features there to come. So at the start of the week we reported on the incredible story
00:26 of four South Yorkshire men who fought in the Spanish Civil War. Their tale is being
00:31 told in a new play in Rotherham. We also heard how a Yorkshire man has founded a new rehab
00:38 clinic in Sheffield and that's all inspired by his own experience with addiction. We spoke
00:44 to the Leeds Conservatoire student who's got a love for both classical piano and boxing
00:50 and is set to appear in a Sky Arts film. And a textile artist told us about her project
00:57 to turn yellow dusters into art exploring domestic work. An exhibition featuring some
01:02 of them is coming to the Knitting and Stitching Show in Harrogate. For the Charity Commission's
01:07 trustee week we spoke to Simon Whidder, the founder of Yorkshire Children's Trust, and
01:12 he told us about his family's ordeal and how it sparked the idea for the charity. We also
01:17 heard this week from underwater filmmaker Mark Barrow who has embarked on an environmental
01:22 passion project that is seen in document life along all 65 miles of the River Wharf. Finally
01:29 in Arts and Culture we reported how a Leeds theatre company is exploring the story of
01:34 the Yorkshire witch in a new black comedy and how a musical that started life in Sheffield
01:39 is being taken now to London's West End. If you want to keep up to date with all the latest
