Every one of us has an Island story… What’s yours?
The Island Stories podcast is hosted by journalist and broadcaster Harriet Hadfield and produced by Alex Warren.
The underlying aim of the Island Stories podcast is to promote this beautiful Island and to celebrate the incredibly inspiring people who live here. With a focus on Islanders doing extraordinary things, we’ve covered a host of Island industries including: music; mental health; film production; beauty; farming; tech and food and drink.
The first two seasons included some big Island names like DJ Rob da Bank - whose interview made headline news with hints of a possible Bestival return; double-gold medalist Shirley Robertson who continues to fly the flag for Britain and Island in the world of professional yachting; and Mountbatten CEO Nigel Hartley, who has led the national conversation around dying - a podcast interview about death, which was strangely uplifting.
Now in the middle of Season 3, we’ve already met the Island’s highest ranking veteran and former representative for Her Late Majesty The Queen on the Isle of Wight; a TV ‘winefluencer’ with high hopes for the Island’s vineyards and a former Liz Earle employee is forging ahead with CBD beauty products.
