Welcome to All About: The Podcast.
We catch up with a local business from Milton Keynes and the surrounding area to dig into the story behind the brand — and the person behind it.
Think less “formal interview” and more a friendly chat over a coffee… or better yet, a pint at the pub. Conversations are relaxed, informal, and often wander into unexpected (but always entertaining) territory.
Fair warning: we occasionally forget the microphones are on, so things can get a little too comfortable — but that’s all part of the fun.
You can find us on your favourite podcast platform.

Stuart from All About Magazine sits down with Mandy (of MagManager) to talk all things local publishing and how technology is transforming the way community magazines are run.
The conversation dives into the real challenges publishers face—tight deadlines, constant last-minute changes, chasing artwork, and managing advertisers—and how tools like MagManager streamline these processes, saving time and reducing stress.
Stuart relates this to his own experience running All About Magazine, highlighting how having visibility across bookings, sales, and production can massively improve efficiency and growth. Together, they discuss how the industry is evolving, with publishers needing to be more agile, data-driven, and organised than ever before.
The chat wraps up with a shared passion for local magazines, reinforcing that community publishing is very much alive and thriving—especially when supported by the right systems and processes.

E5 Prezzo Italian | Erik Fleckenstein General Manager
This episode, we’re pulling up a chair at Prezzo Italian over at Stadium MK, where we’re joined by the brilliant Erik Fleckenstein — the general manager helping keep the pizzas flowing and the pasta perfectly al dente.
We chat about what really goes on behind the scenes of a busy restaurant, from the lunchtime rush to those full-on weekend evenings when it feels like the whole of Milton Keynes has decided to go out for dinner at once. Erik shares his journey into hospitality, what makes Prezzo tick, and why consistency (and a good team) is everything.
There’s plenty of food talk (obviously) — including customer favourites, a few underrated menu gems, and what he actually recommends if you’re stood there staring at the menu pretending you know what to order.
We also get into the local side of things — being part of the Stadium MK scene, connecting with the community, and how restaurants like Prezzo play a bigger role than just somewhere to grab a bite.
So whether you’re a regular at Prezzo or just love a good chat about food, business, and local life — this one’s definitely worth a listen.

E4 Fintrano | Iain Row
This week we’re joined by the brilliant Iain Rowe — the man behind Fintrano… the app that basically stops small businesses from forgetting where they’re supposed to be and when.
Fintrano helps you book jobs, send reminders, track engineers and look wildly organised — even if you’re not.
We chat about how Iain went from tech tinkerer to full-blown SaaS founder, what problem he actually set out to solve, and why keeping things simple is often the smartest move in business.
If you’ve ever double-booked yourself, missed an appointment, or relied on “it’s in my head” as a system… this one’s for you. 😅

E3 Stony Stratford’s Voice on the Airwaves | Caz Tricks
This week we’re chatting with one of Stony Stratford’s most familiar and friendly voices — Caz Tricks, local radio presenter, community champion, and proud Stony resident.
Caz doesn’t just broadcast to the town… she lives it. From early mornings behind the microphone to everyday life on the high street, she’s part of the fabric of Stony Stratford, bringing local stories, music, and conversation straight into people’s homes, cars, and workplaces.
We talk about how she got into radio, what it’s really like presenting live shows, the juggling act of working in the community you broadcast to, and why local radio still matters so much in an age of global streaming. Expect behind-the-scenes stories, a few laughs, and plenty of love for Stony.
It’s a relaxed, uplifting conversation about community, connection, and the power of a familiar voice that makes the town feel just that little bit smaller — in the best possible way.

This week we meet with Rachael MacIntyre LL.B (Hons). Rachael has been a friend and client of All About since 2010. She is a great friend of mine and is pretty much my "twin sister from another mister" If she weren't just that little bit younger than me I'd say we were twins. I really really enjoyed this chat. I hope you enjoy as well. Find out more about MacIntyre Law at www.macintyrelaw.co.uk

E1 All About Me......... The Magazines......... The Future!
Well here it is..... the first EVER episode of All About: The Podcast. this episode is All About Me......... The Magazine........ The Future. This is not a polished recording and it is very clear that my favourite word (or noise) is UMM, it is said a lot but to be honest, it makes this episode just that little more ME.
If you can spare 10 minutes of your day have a listen and find out how it started.
Enjoy!
