All things Newport. Culture, art history, sport, hospitality, all relating to The 'Port.
A conversational podcast, chatting and chewing the fat with some of Newport's key characters. You can expect some in-depth chat as well as some light-hearted laughs, possibly the odd low level swears 😁

Join Alex and I for what can only be described as 'wafflecast'! Sea serpents, cheese coins and Blockbuster video shop are just SOME of the topics of this week's conversation! Really exciting pre-emptive strike for an anniversary Newport Bus has coming up in the next few years, definitely something to look forward to and watch out for!

Join me as I chat with this uber-creative trio about creativity, film making, working together and inclusive and empowering spaces.
Newport having a film studio is such a wonderful scoop, but it's so much more than that. Listen up!

Tin Shed Theatre - Newport Live Act Fringe
This week I have spoken with George form Tin Shed Theatre Company about the Newport Live Act Fringe that's coming up in a couple of weeks.
I didn't know George before this recording so it was lovely to get to know each other. And what an inspiration!Have a listen to what George has to say and what you can look forward to at the Newport Live Act Fringe.
As she says, the success of events like this depends on the people that show up at the events. 60p per performance?!?! It's madness not to go!Have a listen, you're going to love her!

Baroness Wilcox of Newport
Baroness Wilcox and I have a chat about some very interesting topics. From the right of all to go about their business without fear of violence and abuse, incorrect wiki-factoids to the Victor Meldrew Society.
And absolutely, Newport really is the City of Democracy. I love that!
