We're celebrating the best creatives where we live, with Nina Das Gupta, including: • The award-winning Bromsgrove comedian who's got the world's largest arts festival in his sights. We're in conversation with Hasan Al-Habib, ahead of his 50 shows in 25 days at the legendary Edinburgh Fringe Festival. • Tributes to a TV legend whose cut his teeth around Quinton, Edgbaston and Halesowen. We remember national treasure Bill Oddie, and the legacy he's left for our local filmmakers inspired by his enthusiasm for the outdoors. • From prison-worker to podcaster: Discover the incredible storyteller from Coventry whose heartfelt discussions with inmates prompted the career change of a lifetime, reaching hundreds of thousands worldwide. • It's a question that has kept the Black Country guessing for nearly 85 years. Meet the Cradley Heath author putting his own take on the question and unsolved murder, about the body found in a tree in Hagley Wood, and the question that arose from it: 'Who put Bella in the Wych Elm?' • Plus live comedy from the Redditch act who loves talking and people-pleasing so much... she decided to forge a career on the stand-up circuit. Discover one-to-watch, Sutti Synnott, performing on our stage at the Rik Mayall Comedy Festival. Upload your work for a chance to get on the BBC.
