UK #radio programme recommendation: 'The Patch'. Each episode they go talk to people in a random postcode and investigate local stories.

Most recent one I've linked is about a prison; previous was about a US airbase in Norfolk. It's random by definition but the woman who makes it (Polly Weston) is really great and they always find interesting people to talk to. Some stories are surprising but even when not, it's a good listen.
