Welcome to our Podcast Channel

More than 60 episodes have been released since the launch in the summer of 2020, and we have covered everything from bell ringing to school dinners and the history of chocolate. We’ve discovered mysteries in the New Forest and Spitfires in a Hampshire ballroom. We have learnt about some incredible Hampshire women and ‘joined’ divers under Winchester Cathedral. There have also been fascinating educational sessions on how to access archives and how to create your own oral history projects.

Created by Volunteers

It is a fabulous team, all giving up a few hours every week to research, record and edit the podcasts and show notes. Most of the team are living, working and studying in Hampshire but a few are from further afield. And there’s always room for others to join the team!
