• Inspired by the fires: After the devastating events of last week, meet Staffordshire poet Alex Harford who's channelled his anger at the state of affairs in to a rousing piece of writing.

• Making a difference through the power of laughter: Discover Birmingham group LGBTQTeeHee, who turn trauma in to stand-up, using comedy to bring communities together.

• Dig in to the newest episode of the BBC's Strange But True crime podcast, finding its way in to a couple from Warwickshire and the so-called 'House Sitter From Hell'!

• From a band who played Download Festival to picking up millions of followers on social media, get to know the man behind the Only Scrans channel, as recently featured on TV.
