Cheddar Chat is BACK — and we’re rolling into Season 2 cheesier, breezier, and braver than ever! 

In this extended season opener, Donald returns with festival updates, behind-the-scenes gossip, and a warm reflection on last year’s delightfully soggy Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival (yes… that weather). From wellies in the mud to sunshine on Sunday, we look back at the moments that made the 2025 festival unforgettable.

This episode includes:

✨ A first look at the 2026 Sturminster Newton Cheese Festival ✨ A celebration of our brand-new festival website

✨ What’s coming up in Season 2

✨ Updates on community fundraising and local projects

✨ Listener Q&A returns!

Whether you're a local, a cheese-lover, a festival regular, or someone who just enjoys a bit of Dorset charm in your ears — this episode has something for you.

Grab a brew, grab a biscuit, and settle in for the cheesiest podcast in the West Country.
