COVENTRY TALKING NEWSPAPER 12th August 2026

Available on digital media, iTunes podcast, smartphone apps and from the online website.

This is Outlook, the talking newspaper for Coventry.

Hello and welcome from me, Nigel Huynh, to this edition of Outlook being recorded on Wednesday 12th August.

Yes, the glorious 12th for those who are into game eating and of course the eclipse of the sun this evening.

This week, Elaine's in Afton.

We learn about a brutal decision by Winston Churchill during the war.

Peter's looking at some fake news from history.

There's a chicken rescue by the British Hen Welfare Trust.

And the Coventry Society recalls some of the early Coventry watchmakers.

And we'll conclude with the launch of a listener's book.

That's Anne Clunell.

I beg your pardon, that's Amy Clunell.

There's also a report from the Hub here, your postbag, but no sports report this week.

But as ever, we start with a round-up of this week's local news with Elaine and Peter.
