The Didcot Podcast

Aureus Head Kirsty Rogers talks frankly about the huge turnaround she has orchestrated at Aureus school and why she wants phones banned entirely from school. Also, at what age you should let your child have a phone? How does Aureus work with Police to help prevent antisocial behaviour? 

Charlie reveals the cult movie he has a part in AND the A List film star he had dinner with.

Giselle takes on the huge responsibility of The Village News and begins with a bombshell

Have you seen all the posts about anti social behaviour in Didcot lately? Lots of people on Great Western Park are complaining. We ask, is this about pesky kids or is there a bigger problem?

Oh and let’s not forget, Giselle dares Charlie with a new dating adventure. Will he be up for the challenge? What does it involve? Can Giselle control her excitement? 

All this and more in Episode 8 of The Didcot Podcast with Charlie and Giselle.
