Every community's got its colourful characters and memorable stories to tell. But how do you take a great local story and get it in front of the widest possible audience?

That's the challenge that 'Multi Story' from the BBC tries to tackle, as it draws on England's network of 40 local radio stations.  

Each episode's made up of a few different stories hanging together around a theme like parenting or animals.

We play some of Episode 5: Searching about a New Zealander based in London who's doing a very important job and speak to Becca Bryers who produces and presents the show about how she selects the best stuff from all of this potential raw material. And series 2 of Multi Story starts in March.
