What we make
News with a human pulse.
Each episode starts with a sharp brief and ends with a story that respects the listener's time. Here is a taste of the work we help bring to air.
Beyond the Headline
Reporters unpack the detail behind a national story without losing the human angle.
Voices of the West
Residents, organisers and researchers explain what change feels like on the ground.
The Data Desk
A calm, practical read of the figures behind public stories and everyday choices.
Why we do it
Clarity is a public service.
Pershore Dispatch began with a simple frustration: important reporting was being squeezed into formats that left listeners behind. Our producers give each story room to breathe, then edit it until every sentence earns its place.
We work from Bristol Road South in Birmingham with a small team that cares about clean facts and warm sound. We write for curious people who want context, a human voice and a reason to keep listening.

Pershore Dispatch helped our small newsroom build a weekly show with a clear editorial voice. The team asked precise questions, kept our deadlines visible and made every interview sound natural. Our listeners now stay with each episode longer.Mebrhit Ifeakor, Editor at Westside Newsroom
Why did we choose Pershore Dispatch? Because they listen closely, challenge weak scripting and make the final cut feel like us.Ugoo L., Audio Lead
