Newsbag

This time, Norwich and its furry inhabitants go viral - and so do we! (In a way.)We also impart some Norfolk vocabularly - don't say we don't treat all you bishy barnabees.

We're back after a small haitus during which Hannah and Chris got hitched, which has forged a surprising connection between all three of us....This week, they say Norfolk is totally flat, so imagine how surprised we were to learn the tallest mountain in the world is here in our back yard! (Incredibly.)

Jamie takes us back to our roots ('tanks' for that) while Chris takes us to lofty new heights with a Newsbag first. Hannah hits the bell and eats some snacks.

There's something fruity happening at Tesco and one newspaper milks a photo for all it's worth.  Chris did basically no preparation for this episode so Hannah won by a mile. Oh spoiler alert.

A Norwich hotelier spots an (extremely small) gap in the market for fantasy hotels. WARNING: for some reason we talk about snails a lot in this episode.

Someone tries to intimidate an 80-year old but she's having none of it. Then, Jamie becomes a reporter in his own right as massive news unfolds literally on his doorstep.

We're back folks! Nothing happened in 2020 so we took a break.  Now comes the long awaited return with new games and stories, plus the usual quality journalism you're used to. Except that last bit about quality journalism.

We try and utterly fail (but in a nice way) not to mention the C-word. Hannah almost does something unforgivable.

If it's intense legal battles around sign wording you're after, or spotting celebrities like "Ben Whizzsure" and a guy who played keyboard on some songs by Elton John, we have it all. Plus Snackbag of course.

Chris, Hannah and Jamie are back for the dreaded second season!  Join us for some light relief (unlike a certain dog) as we provide more irreverant views on irrelevant news. NOW WITH NEW FORMAT!** It looks very similar to the old format.

We go all out in this festive one-off special (except when we did it last time for Halloween) to bring you the most seasonal stories, jolly jumpers and sensational snackbags.  Well, two of us did.  Actually only one if you include the jumpers.  And snacks.  We hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year and we'll see you in 2020!  Love from Chris, Hannah and Jamie x

As Chris flies the nest for a couple of months we take a look back at some of the modern classics that made the Newsbag cut. Plus one Jamie hated. Plus some final headlines.We've really had a blast making these and will be back in the New Year with brand new stories!  Hopefully about people knocking over their Christmas tree or inadvertantly kissing their dog under the mistletoe.  Thank you for listening and see you soon.

A character called Homer Simpson turns up out of nowhere to teach Norfolk a lesson.  Or is it all a big prank?  Only "Pranksy" knows.

In this special episode, we team up with Weird Norfolk to bring you some very spooky stories.  Listeners, be beware...

We highlight some of the pitfalls awaiting unsuspecting drivers in our fine city, including where NOT to turn your car around and where NOT to go to avoid ending up headlamp-deep in "the soggiest place in the country".

We uncover a little-known war raging between the Highways Agency and a "serial prankster", plus another mystery from Jamie regarding an eerie noise...

We dissect a very serious report about the state of Norwich's primary outdoor seating system, while a hopeful cruise-goer from Great Yarmouth gets an unwelcome surprise.

A desperate resident just wants some rest, but someone's got his number. This episode may interest you especially if you've recently lost a bichromatic bike (and can prove it).

An amibitious employee finally gets his ultimate job (or so he thinks), while an unscrupulous swan gets what coming to it.

A critical TV moment is gutwrenchingly interrupted by something in yellow and black (not a wasp, surprisingly), before we get involved in a very salty competition.

Take a trip on a peculiar world-record-holding installation, plus we invite a special guest from Team GB to relive the (farming) Olympics.

A terrifiying, teethed creation descends on the region, but underneath it all is a far more delicate issue. 

Team GB prepares to enter the (farming) Olympics, whilst one journalist's effort manages to make even Newsbag stories sound interesting.

Residents' sympathy towards birds has unintended consequences... but who's to blame?

Tinder hits the headlines, but not all is as it seems.

A north Norfolk town becomes hugely popular with the vertically gifted.

Hello! And a warm welcome to Newsbag, the place to be for irreverent views on irrelevant news. This week, a legendary Star Wars actor finally puts Norfolk on the map.
