Episode 3. Islands, Highlands and landslips. Topical chat that lands this week's catchy musings.
Sit back, relax and unwind as Rory and Tim ease you through a fact-filled pod, casting our net never too far from the Isle of Wight which, remember, we quite like, without contriving a dubious Wight link (!) to bring us all back to our island home.
Find out what connects Glasgow's Nicola Sturgeon (c.2023) to Carisbrooke's Isabella de Fortibus (c.1293) and discover if Tim can get hold of all the ingredients he needs for this week's soup. Is our topical chat a recipe to have rotten tomatoes hurled at us (if they stay on the shelves long enough to rot) or an opportunity to listen to one of the two old guys confuse his Brits with his Baftas?
From soup to Steinbeck and from royalty to greatest hits radio, we bump our gums, through brothers, burgers, Barnett formulas and funding for island and highland budgets as we contrast what £50million buys you compared with £15,500. Clue - one of them affects the healthcare of 140,000 islanders but which one. We swing from waterfront eateries on the East Wight to the West Wight as easily as you can say "sea-wall erosion".
Listen out for the moment when this week's "Pop of the Week" goes ... ahem ... cough ... pop! Literally!
We wind things up with an introduction of some of our favourite listenings and readings and a guest spot as we reveal our island MP's response to Tim's correspondence in our "Where's Bob!?" feature.
Be sure to catch all our episodes and don't forget to gird your loins to enter our no-holds barred "Pop of the Week" competition if you think you can guess the answer. Send your guesses in on an email to [email protected] and we'll read out our favourite submissions and any correct ones.
