Other ways to listen to the West Shropshire Talking Newspaper

Amazon Alexa

We’re on smart speaker, through Amazon’s Alexa.

There is a separate 'West Shropshire Talking Newspaper' skill which has options to listen to previous recordings and to play at a faster speed.

The first time you use it, you'll need to say: 'Enable, West Shropshire Talking Newspaper' and thereafter: 'Open, West Shropshire Talking Newspaper'.

Our Magazine is also on Alexa. The first time you use it you'll need to say: 'Enable, WSTN’s Shropshire Magazine' and thereafter 'Open: WSTN’s Shropshire Magazine'. (it is just the initials WSTN’s, not the words)
