Welcome to the Deepdale Podcast, our North Norfolk magazine programme. Hosted by Jason Borthwick, it’s May 2026, and the episode starts with a snippet of the dawn chorus, which is simply stunning at this time of year. The resident blackbird was singing away, circling Jason and the microphone in an inquisitive way while he recorded.

Then Jason chats with Nina Bilbey and Charlotte Howarth at Holkham, two master stone carvers, about their Abraxas Academy, their inspiration, their journeys to becoming artists, and the incredible projects they have and are working on.

Happy Christmas everyone!

It's December, so in this episode of the Deepdale Podcast, Chris and Jason bring you their annual selection of favourite albums from the year. Recommendations of some additional presents you might want to buy yourself!

For 2025 there has been an exceptional amount of amazing new music, so despite Jason's best efforts, he couldn't limit Chris to the usual 12 albums for Christmas, and instead Chris has selected 21 albums that he really loves and thinks you should own.

We are incredibly pleased that 16 of the artists have given us permission to include a sample track, so not only does this episode include lots of chat about wonderful new music, but it also includes a lot of great music.

Welcome back to the Deepdale Podcast, our magazine programme about North Norfolk. It’s September 2005, there's a blue sky, it’s a beautiful, beautiful day.

In this episode, Jason has three lovely chats, with some musicians and some wildlife enthusiasts.

Steve and Sam from the Brancaster Staithe Sea Shanty Festival chat about the festival this coming weekend, when the whole of Brancaster Staithe and Burnham Deepdale are filled with shanty bands of all shapes and sizes, singing their hearts out in aid of charity. There are six venues, including The Jolly Sailors, White Horse, Marshside, Village Hall, St Mary’s Church and our Brick Barn at Deepdale Camping & Rooms.

Cole and Joseph from the India Electric Co, join Jason for a chat ahead of their gig at Deepdale Camping & Rooms on Saturday 27th September. They played at the Deepdale Festival 2023, and went down an absolute storm on the Sunday night. Cole joined Jason back in August 2023 on the podcast, so you may have heard him before, but since then the gents have a new album and have been busy with a whole host of projects.

And the third chat is with Lucy and Paul from RSPB Titchwell Marsh Nature Reserve. It's a fabulous place, not far from Deepdale, just a couple of villages away.  A haven for wildlife and a key site in this beautiful part of the world, where you can see a huge range of habitats in this one place. Spend a few hours walking around and investigating. They run a whole series of events through the year for both those new to birdwatching and those with much more experience.

Thank you so much listening to the Deepdale podcast, we really enjoy putting this show together. Please do leave a review on your favourite podcast app or directory, it really helps other people find us, and please do tell your family and friends about us too.

This will be the last podcast for the next couple of months, Jason will be back with Chris chatting about their 12 albums for Christmas, as they normally do in the December episode.

They so enjoy putting together this magazine programme about the beautiful north Norfolk coast and are glad you enjoy listening to it.

See you again in December, in the meantime, if you need to fill your listening ears with more of the beautiful North Norfolk Coast, then do listen back to the back catalogue.  Chats with a huge range of really interesting people, who know this beautiful part of the world so well.

Welcome back to the Deepdale Podcast, our magazine programme about North Norfolk. Its August 2025, the sun is shining, the temperatures are high, and the beautiful North Norfolk Coast is as stunning as ever.

This month Jason chats with two locals who love this part of the world. First up Jason joins John Thompson on the Welcome Ferry that runs out of Burnham Overy Staithe, running visitors to Scolt Head Island and Gun Hill. Second, Jason sits on Brancaster Staithe hard, chatting with Annalisa Dovey about Brancaster Boards, who run stand up paddle boarding guided tours of the harbour.

And then the table is turned on Jason, as BBC Radio Norfolk have kindly allowed us to include Rosanna Tennant’s interview, when she invited Jason onto her radio show to chat about Norfolk as part of the Norfolk Day celebrations.
