🎙️ Episode 1 – From Bedford Roots to the Isle of Man TT

In this first episode of We Are Bedford, we sit down with Grant Wagstaff to explore his life growing up in Bedford and Kempston, from school days and youth clubs to local pubs and family stories. Grant shares how his early love of engineering and go-karting led him to an extraordinary career in motorcycle racing, including competing at the legendary Isle of Man TT. Along the way, he reflects on Bedford’s community spirit, the teachers and friends who shaped his journey, and the risks and rewards of racing at over 120mph on the world’s most dangerous road circuit.

If you love Bedford history, personal stories, and tales of living life at full speed, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
