Keen photographers around St Albans can develop their skills in a snappy challenge this month.

During the September Challenge, shutterbugs have the opportunity to take a variety of themed photographs which are then shared on a Facebook group.

Find out more about this on the St Albans Podcast with host Danny Smith, who will chat with organiser Stephanie Belton.

He will also welcome podcast producer Sam Rolfe, frequent contributor Chris Aikman and local character Margie Skinner onto the podcast to talk about another Hot Topic.

This is a whimsical look at a global news story. It complements a regular feature with Herts Ad reporter Franki Berry, who discusses a selection of topical St Albans news stories.

St Albans Podcast launched in conjunction with the Herts Ad earlier this year.

It is next available today (September 11) at 7pm.
