Earl Panizzo is a passionate media professional with a background in Media and Communication. In 2022, while pursuing her degree and aiming to become a journalist, Earl embarked on her journey into podcasting as a host for Winchester Heritage Open Days. Her keen interest in storytelling and dedication to exploring local history quickly became evident. Following her graduation, Earl transitioned into the role of podcast coordinator for the organisation, where she now oversees the production and development of content that highlights the rich cultural heritage of Winchester. Earl's work reflects her commitment to blending media expertise with a deep appreciation for community history. When Earl is not volunteering, you can find her reading philosophy in a coffee shop and meeting like minded people.

Unlike many of the HistBites team, Julian has no academic history background. However, following a career in an IT company based locally and he’d now like to learn more about Winchester’s rich history. What better way to do that than to be asking some of the questions on HistBites podcasts, which is why Julian is one of our leading podcast hosts!

Charlotte Gunnell is a digital content specialist. She works for Historic Royal Palaces, creating and producing editorial history content for the website. She has a BA (Hons) in Journalism and an MA in Early Modern History. In 2022 she completed a dissertation on the 1575 progress of Elizabeth I, using records held at The National Archives to complete original research. She is a Trustee for the Friends of the National Archives.

Charlotte retired reluctantly from an interesting career in marketing and opinion research and, having always been interested in history, took on a limited role with the project - limited by her lack of IT skills and social media involvement. She proofreads the transcripts of the podcasts and sometimes wonders if anyone reads them and, since proofreading almost always misses something, whether readers spot typos she has missed!
