Dolly Parton's passing gets a mention (RIP, though her Kings Heath connections remain unconfirmed), before Chris and Chris get into the actual local news: a metal recycling trailer fire on Alcester Road South, and — finally — some good news, as The Range car park gets resurfaced after Sue Reynolds' long-running accessibility campaign. The Billsley goes up for sale at a cool £1.5 million via WTS Property Consultants, and the boys briefly float buying it themselves with "pizza and podcast money." There's also a shoutout to King's on York Road for anyone after a curry with a proper vegan menu.

Two great community kitchens are hiring/recruiting: Change Kitchen CIC wants a kitchen manager, and Kings Heath Community Kitchen needs five volunteers.

Then it's on to next week's packed calendar — knitting at Hop & Stitch, a mobile household waste day, Nook Gallery's Birmingham-themed Cozy Cinema double bill, a bus route change extending the 50 to Wythall, and a genuinely stacked Bank Holiday Monday: a classic car show at All Saints Square (with Infinity Pizza on site), salsa classes on Alcester Road South, Jam Jar Mondays' reggae night, and multiple fundraisers supporting B14 Gorleston residents affected by recent house fires.

As always: get in touch at heathtalkpodcast@gmail.com — and Chris finally promises us that long-awaited voice note from the car show.
