The Community and Hospital Broadcasting Network (CHBN) launches an exciting three-part series on Sunday. “In Reel Life - Past and Present” is presented by Chris Robins, who based his show on archive recordings made around Cornwall during his time with local radio.

Chris revisited the people and places featured, to compare and contrast his original interviews with life in 2024.

In the first two programmes Chris takes a trip down the River Fal, revisiting a museum near the King Harry Ferry, recalling oyster fishing in the river, and remembering the schooners that sailed into the heart of Truro. In the third programme, he learns the fascinating histories of Charlestown and Pentewan.

Chris Robins joined CHBN last year and presents the Tuesday Breakfast Show. "In Reel Life", is produced by Steve Foster.

CHBN broadcasts on 100.8 FM, via the CHBN Radio App and online at www.chbnradio.org
