Hi everyone,

After three incredible weeks travelling through Spain, Gibraltar and the UK, I'm finally back behind the microphone!

This week's Hey Gibraltar podcast is a fun summer special where I share some of the biggest moments from the trip, including:

☀️ The stunning private villa in Spain that went viral and had everyone asking where it was.

🇬🇮 My son's unforgettable summer adventures here in Gibraltar and why this little Rock is such a fantastic place for families.

🚣 The excitement, chaos and laughs from this year's Cardboard Boat Race.

🚗 The latest on Gibraltar's frontier, including the welcome sight of no long queues crossing the border.

Along the way, I also share a few personal reflections from the journey and why I feel lucky to call Gibraltar home.

Whether you're enjoying the sunshine, relaxing with a coffee or heading out for a walk, I'd love you to join me for this week's episode.

🎧 Listen now and let me know which story was your favourite.

As always, thank you for being part of the Hey Gibraltar community. Your support means the world.

See you in the next episode!

Ahmed

Should Gibraltar Airport be renamed after Sir Joshua Hassan?

It's a question that's sparked plenty of conversation across the Rock, and in this week's Hey Gibraltar Podcast, we explore the legacy of one of Gibraltar's most influential leaders and why this proposal means so much to many in our community.

But the conversation doesn't stop there.

We also share a simple message that's easy to forget in today's world: don't let negativity shape the way you see people. Choose kindness over criticism, respect over division, and remember that every person has a story worth understanding.

It's another episode packed with local conversation, thoughtful discussion, and the positive community spirit that makes Gibraltar so special.

This week on the Hey Gibraltar Podcast, we dive into two of the biggest talking points across the Rock right now.

First up, we review the Eco Festival weekend. From the atmosphere and entertainment to the community spirit and family vibes, was this one of Gibraltar’s best public events yet? We share our honest thoughts, favourite moments and what these events mean for bringing the community together.

We also discuss the new road direction changes around Holy Trinity Church which have sparked plenty of conversation online and on the streets. Are the changes making traffic flow better or creating more confusion for drivers and pedestrians? We break down the public reaction and give our own thoughts after seeing it first hand.

This episode is all about local conversation, community opinion and the topics everyone in Gibraltar seems to be talking about this week.

Listen now and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Gibraltar is spotless… but do we actually appreciate it?

This week on the Hey Gibraltar Podcast, we dive into the streets we walk every day and the people quietly keeping them clean. From early morning street cleaners to responsible dog owners who take pride in our community, there’s more going on than most of us realise.

We also touch on something big happening right now… the rise in cruise liners arriving into Gibraltar. More visitors, more energy, more opportunity. But are we ready for it?

This episode will make you look at Gibraltar differently. The small things. The everyday habits. The impact we all have.

If you live here, love Gibraltar, or just enjoy hearing real local conversations, this one’s for you.

Listen now and tell us… do we truly appreciate what we have?

Back in Edinburgh for the week and it’s been a proper mix… chance encounters, long travel, crazy weather, and quality time with family and old friends. From passport drama in Glasgow to small moments that hit differently, this trip reminded me what really matters.

Now I’m looking forward to getting back to Gibraltar, the sunshine, the community, and building momentum again.
