Another topical chat-filled extravaganza steers towards your favourite podcast port of call with a cargo of our usual island views, foodie findings and with a special buzz emanating from the podcast studio (no not interference!), as our second outside broadcast interview with Ventnor’s formidable Paul Berry takes to the air waves.

Paul is one third of the island crew preparing to take on the World’s Toughest Row, The Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge starting on the 12th December 2023 as part of the Mermaid Atlantic 2023 team rowing from the Canary Isles to the Caribbean. Our intrepid, roving reporter, Tim Dedman, meets Paul on the deck of his family tea hut on the beach at Ventnor seafront to learn all about the training, motivation and challenges that face the hardy trio. https://www.worldstoughestrow.com/

Find out all you need to know about this daring challenge and, if that’s not enough compelling content, stay tuned to listen to Tim and Rory celebrate the not-so-humble Isle of Wight tomato, drifting between the island history of Garibaldi and his biscuits alongside the perils of toasted sourdough.

With protest placards firmly hidden from view we, on behalf of regular podcast listeners, launch campaigns for restaurant and cafe menus to provide more information regarding salad garnish and balsamic glaze - to dress or not to dress, that is the question.

With much, much more including, mild-mannered musings, and murmurs from museums, make sure you subscribe to the podcast to ensure you never miss out on the content that makes us the podcast of the people, by the people, for the people … of the Isle of Wight and beyond.

Enjoy!

Rory and Tim
