Before Vimal Korpal became a performer, he ran a shop – and he still likes talking to shopkeepers. In this podcast he visits Wednesbury town centre where he uncovers the interesting stories behind two shops – Simone’s Bridal Wear and Sue’s Traditional Sweets.

Surprisingly, these vastly different shops share more than just their Wednesbury location, and Vimal proves yet again that there are stories we all want to hear in everyone’s lives.
