My podcast – FoodandMusicIOW. It is available from the popular podcast libraries. The podcast is free to subscribe to.

The Podcast

It is all about the hospitality businesses here on the Isle of Wight! I started the podcast because I found so many amazing businesses here on the island. Great food and drink producers, chefs, cafes, pubs, bars, hotels, restaurants and so on. I have uncovered new businesses almost every month. People with unique talents and desire to produce products and services that are exciting and different!

Each podcast season, there will be a combination of new and existing businesses that are interesting and have a fantastic story. I am excited at being able to talk to them and share their plans, business and why they do it, through the podcast!

This is an idea I had been thinking about for many years, but the time to create it was now. I am here on the Isle of Wight. It is about food and drink! My favourite subject! Speaking to producers and many others, I came to the opinion that the island is a “hotbed” for foodies! There are obvious well-known businesses, such as the Isle of Wight Tomatoes, the Garlic Farm, the Hut and a few more. But the recent Channel Five programme about the Isle of Wight highlighted that there are many others we should know about. The podcast aims to do that for islanders and visitors alike.
