A VERY SPECIAL PROFISLES...The Bees Gees Origin Story!
In 1997, broadcaster Bernie Quayle went to Miami and recorded a number of wonderful conversations with fellow Manxies Barry, Maurice and Robin Gibb - and their Mum, Barbara. We thought these recordings were lost, after Bernie's website went offline not long after he died in 2021. However, his sister Pauline - my mum! - recently found the mp3 copies on a CD and agreed to let me share them on this podcast. This first instalment is the family chatting together, remembering their childhood ...

THE FOLKLORIAN ARTIST : Julia Ashby Smyth
Guest no.6, Julia Ashby Smyth, is so much more than Just An Artist; she spends a great deal of her worldly life immersed in nature, but also flitting in and around the spaces of the inbetween. You will know her work from the extravagantly decorated bottles of Fynoderee gin, rum and vodka, perhaps also from various Manx books such as the 2013 publication of Sophia Morrison's Manx Fairy Tales and, very likely, from curating the Hodgson Loom Gallery in Laxey. We talk about myths and moggie...

JAMIE LEWIS AND DREW FLEMING : The Entrepreneurs
Jamie Lewis and Drew Fleming are the two impressive young entrepreneurs behind the Extra Fancy brand and multi award winning Kiki's Lounge. They talk to us about friendship, fatherhood, the industry they love and global domination - with a healthy dose of chat about steam trains and Spice Girl fandom for good measure. It will make you feel proud of the Island and hopeful for our future, which is surely somewhat safer in the hands of enthusiastic, driven and creative souls like this pair...

TIFFANY KERRUISH - The Accidental Distiller
With family roots on the Isle of Man that can be traced back centuries, local couple Paul and Tiffany Kerruish founded The Fynoderee Distillery in 2017. Their passion for distilling premium Manx spirits took them from humble beginnings - in a shed at the back of their home - to a much-loved drinks brand, now renowned for their award-winning Manx Gins, Rum and Vodka.

CHRISTINE COLLISTER - Child of the Sea
Welcome to ProfIsles! In this first episode, I have a lovely long chat with the effervescent singer songwriter and proud Manxie Christine Collister, who returned to live on her Island home during lockdown. Far from just being about music, the conversation is about growth, creative development, courage and loss; it's about sisterhood and The Sea; but more than that, it's about Christine's intrinsic attachment and connection to her Island home, its fascinating folklore and its alw...
