Welcome to the Somerset Emotional Wellbeing (SEW) podcast!

In this episode, Knowledge Matters, our hosts Dr. Andrew Tresidder and Dr. Peter Bagshaw are joined by Veronica Price from Somerset Foundation Trust’s Libraries and John Carter, a Senior Development Officer from Somerset Libraries to discuss how libraries are constantly evolving to fit our changing needs, how to find reliable health and wellbeing information in your local library and why our libraries now play host to everything from toddler singing groups to borrowable tablet computers and blood pressure monitors!

The SEW podcast is a free weekly show hosted by Dr. Andrew Tresidder and Dr. Peter Bagshaw. In each episode, the doctors discuss a different topic related to mental and emotional wellbeing and often invite expert guests to join them in conversation. The show is aimed at the people of Somerset and beyond; the advice and guidance provided should apply to anybody who needs it, whenever they need it.

All episodes of SEW are now available to listen to free through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Deezer, Google Podcasts, Amazon Podcasts, Somerset Emotional Wellbeing or wherever you get your podcasts!

We would like to hear from you! If you would like to let us know what you think of the show, or to suggest guests and topics for us to cover, please get in touch with us by emailing: [email protected]

Thank you for listening, see you next time!

Accessible Services and Health and WellbeingWe aim to provide accessible services for library members with special needs or disabilities. We also offer support and services for carers, foster carers, home educators and child minders.

If you have an accessibility issue not covered by these initiatives, please speak to library staff.
