Take a deep dive into the world of Instagram with social media expert Katya Willems. Katya is an Instagram specialist who provides courses, workshops and one to one training to small businesses. She joins Bronwyn on Singing Teachers Talk to explain the often confusing and ever changing social media trends.  KEY TAKEAWAYS You can do many things on Instagram, and that can make the platform a bit overwhelming for people. It's best to simplify your approach. Pick a style and message, and stick to it.   Don't obsess over the number of followers you have. Some followers might not be people who want to engage with your brand – they're just there because an algorithm sent them. You want to reach your target audience and provide content they want to see and will respond to.  If you see Insta content that you like, don't be afraid to use it as inspiration to create your own content.  People on Instagram have a 3-second attention span. You need to convey your message in a simple, bold way. If the font is too small or not easy to read, people will just scroll past it.  When people are looking for a singing teacher, they want to find someone with whom they can connect. Use Instagram to tell people who you are, and explain your values. Your values can help people engage with you.  BEST MOMENTS ‘They're squeezing their brand into a format without thinking about what they need to get across'  ‘The reason reels are popular is because Instagram pushes them to try and compete with Tik Tok' ‘View it as a blank canvas to fill with your content' EPISODE RESOURCES  BAST Training Guest Website: https://easyinstamcr.com/ Social Media: Instagram @easyinstamcr Twitter @easyinstamcr ABOUT THE GUEST  Katya Willems is an Instagram Coach and 'cheerleader'.

Caroline Smailes takes us for a soak at the Victoria Baths in Manchester, a self-proclaimed Water Palace of the Victorian era. Mark Illis explores Blackheath in south-east London, and the layers of memory that cluster there. Clare Fisher wanders the many ginnels, alleys, nooks and crannies of Leeds, and examines their role in inspiring her writing.

Sport and art again in this podcast brought to you by the British Society of Sport History in association with the Institute of Historical Research with Geoff talking to Veronica Smith of the University of York. Geoff talks to Veronica about the stained glass in the beautiful Victoria Baths in Manchester. Those of us of a certain age will remember the baths featuring in the BBC's television show Restoration in the 1990s. Veronica's research looks at the gender and class hierarchies embodied in the glasswork and puts them into the context of wider Edwardian society. There's also time to talk about the hard slog of researching stained glass in pubs and a quick plug for how friendly the BSSH's conference is! Raf also fills us in on the upcoming seminars from the BSSH featuring sport in Ireland with Dr Liam Callaghan and the Cricket World Cup with Allister Webb. Veronica Smith is currently studying for a PhD in History of Art, exploring the pivotal role of stained glass in municipal and domestic architecture of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in British cities. She has previously published work on stained glass firms of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.

Sport and art in this week's podcast brought to you by the British Society of Sport History in association with the Institute of Historical Research with Veronica Smith's paper on the stained glass in the Victoria Baths, Manchester.

Throughout August we ran some fun, free creative workshops in Wythenshawe. The work the community produced was showcased in an installation that accompanied our production of Romeo & Juliet at Victoria Baths. We take a look back at the sound design workshop... #RomeoAndJuliet #HOMEmcr #Engagement #CommunityProject #AudioWorkshop #Manchester

The hottest tickets for 2014’s autumn theatre season in Manchester are productions of Shakespeare from two of the region's leading theatre companies. The Royal Exchange Theatre production of Hamlet is directed by artistic director Sarah Frankcom starring popular stage and TV actress Maxine Peake in the title role. When we spoke to Sarah and Maxine with two and a half weeks to go before opening, this had already become one of the theatre’s most popular productions. Hamlet runs at the Royal Exchange Theatre in Manchester from 11 September to 25 October 2014. For more information, see royalexchange.co.uk. Manchester’s new arts centre, Home, is presenting a series of site-specific productions in the run-up to the opening of its new purpose-built venue next spring. After Angel Meadow, the second of these is new artistic director Walter Meierjohann’s directorial debut for the company, a production of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet performed in Manchester’s historic Victoria Baths, which sold out before opening night. In this episode, you can hear director Walter Meierjohann, dramaturg Petra Jane Tauscher and actors Alex Felton and Sara Vickers who play Romeo and Juliet. Home Manchester's production of Romeo and Juliet runs at Victoria Baths from 10 September to 4 October 2014. For more information, see homemcr.org.

Greg Wilson is definitely something of an institution. A name that has not only fluttered throughout the since for some time, but a person who you can safely say has been a key contributor to the scene for many years. Since his career began circa 1975, he has claimed many notches on his belt from being the first DJ to mix on UK TV, playing gigs such as Electric Chair and Fabric, right through to being the selector for compilations such as the much loved reminiscent release 'Electro Mastercuts' LP. We could go on and on, but when it boils down to it, if you know the name, you love the music. So we are honoured that he has supplied a mix for our beloved Pigcast series which he recorded live at Manchester's iconic Victoria Baths a short while back. So speakers up and feet ready.

HOME Manchester, the new arts organisation formed from the merger between the Library Theatre Company and Cornerhouse Cinema, is filling the time before the opening of its new, purpose-built home in spring 2015 with a series of site-specific productions around the city. The first of these, Angel Meadow, is a collaboration with Dublin-based ANU Productions that looks at the Irish communities in Ancoats who settled there in the late nineteenth century. In this episode, some of the team from ANU talk about the process of creating and performing this devised, site-specific piece and some of the difficulties it has posed. First, we spoke to actors Thomas Reilly and Lloyd Cooney, and then to director Louise Lowe with performers Dee Burke, Will Irvine and Úna Kavanagh. Angel Meadow from ANU Productions will be produced by HOME Manchester in Ancoats with performances from Tuesday 10 to Sunday 29 June 2014. For more information on this and the other site-specific productions in this HOME season—Romeo and Juliet at Victoria Baths and David Greig’s The Events in the office building Number One First Street—see the HOME Manchester web site.
