Tim and Rory get back in the hot seat after the holiday special of episode 16 and get right into interview mode this time in the guest seats having been invited to chat with Ian Mac (Macca) of Vectis Radio on his mid-morning show. We really enjoyed meeting Macca and radio certainly thrilled these podcast "stars". We bring you the whole interview in this episode with plenty of chat about...

Our holiday special edition is here without delay, or diversion, and only one natural disaster to interfere with our perfectly laid plans. We pre-recorded the bulk of this episode so we could simply get it stitched together with some small additions post-holiday and all went to plan bar the content from Rory's break in Crete. Tim provides some enjoyable commentary on his break with wife Ella t...

Join Tim and Rory for another meander around all things Wight, with an added dash of worldly observations and heaps of holiday helpings to come. Our special guest this week, is Tony Trowbridge, renowned Sandown-based street and pop artist, who is most definitely not dead yet. Tim takes time to trawl through Tony's fascinating life in an interview well worth a listen if you love popular art and...

Another very special guest graces the virtual QWightLike A Podcast studio as Tim spends time chatting with Victoria White, head of the Isle of Wight Ambulance Service. Tim recently experienced their professionalism, dedication and daily heroism, for himself (see our episode 11) and wanted to have the opportunity to find out first hand what makes the organisation function so well and where is Victo...

Lucky episode 13 is now available, and QWightLike A Podcast is now cemented in the podcasting fixture list for as long as we have something to say and someone to talk to. As is the case with this exciting instalment where we have secured one of the first interviews, if not THE first interview for island podcast royalty, Harriet Hadfield, to put herself in front of the microphone for a compelling c...

A quick episode to get back on schedule, following the technical challenges we overcame in episode 11, subsequently turned into our longest offering yet. Judicious post-production editing removed a few seconds of grunts and scrapes but left in all the topical chat, news views and this episode's special guest is Andrew Todd, of Drews Brews to be found regularly (Wednesday to Sunday) at Fireston...

Tim and Rory have prepared a special episode of the podcast for those who love a good story, topical chat and the Isle of Wight. On 22nd June Tim suffered a heart attack and this podcast covers the experience, reflections and resolutions. As Tim is under strict instructions to limit activity, the podcast studio went on the road to Tim's man cave in Rookley, only for the audio to be plagued by...

As we roll effortlessly into double digit number of episodes, Tim and Rory, your very own museum pieces, tackle heatwave hysteria, festival frolics, breakfast banter and engage brains for a cost of living discussion that evaluates a new economic theory, donut economics, that does not involve Homer Simpson's bakery item of choice. Tactics for surviving the Council's designer dumps are discu...

A further week away from the podcast studio brings tales from Tim's travels tinged with telling toilet tales and topical tittle tattle. Travel advice is offered from the pocket pat down to how to be chatted up by French museum ticket sales staff. This official QWightLike travel advice notice explains what not to have in your suitcase to avoid a strip search by US Border Force staff. For the le...

Another topical chat-filled extravaganza steers towards your favourite podcast port of call with a cargo of our usual island views, foodie findings and with a special buzz emanating from the podcast studio (no not interference!), as our second outside broadcast interview with Ventnor’s formidable Paul Berry takes to the air waves. Paul is one third of the island crew preparing to take on the World...

Tim and Rory wax lyrically on steam powered real ale where the porters are fruit-based and the plum festival ale is … well … listen to find out. We veer from brief encounters to national news bulletins and get out of our studio to meet interesting new people and learn what makes them tick and let them talk about their projects, passions and plans. First up, and our crowning glory this week, is Kir...

Tim and Rory resume normal service following an extra week of enforced banishment from the QWightLike A Podcast studio.  What have we been up to?  Tune in to find out.  Spoiler: we find ourselves discussing performances ranging from primary school drama forays, hormone-fuelled teenage dance dreams and we end up waxing lyrical about the many stages, natural and thespian, offered by the Isle of Wigh...

We present, episode 5 of our growing podcast, following an extra week off air, and we jump straight to the medium of television to discuss the recent swamping of our screens with Isle of Wight focussed programming. We cover Channel 5's Isle of Wight: Jewel of the South, a homage to the people and places of the island, as well as BBC2’s The Cockfields, a sitcom set on the Isle of Wight and maki...

What’s an episode for?  Listening to and being challenged by the views of others, maybe educated a little, and, of course, to enjoy the silky smooth musings and island-linked distractions of a couple of old blokes.  So, please enjoy our very own episode four (do you see what we did there?) of the latest podcast brought to you from the glistening shores of the Isle of Wight.   Rory a...

Sit back, relax and unwind as Rory and Tim ease you through a fact-filled pod, casting our net never too far from the Isle of Wight which, remember, we quite like, without contriving a dubious Wight link (!) to bring us all back to our island home.   Find out what connects Glasgow's Nicola Sturgeon (c.2023) to Carisbrooke's Isabella de Fortibus (c.1293) and discover if Tim can get hold of all...

Well, we made it to a second episode ... and it says here ... back by popular demand. In our eagerly anticipated follow-up episode, Tim and Rory talk about off-island trips and returning ferry travails interspersed with the glamour of Los Angeles mingling with the blood, sweat and tears, for some, of Twickenham.  Tune in to catch up on English Heritage ketchup, the mystery pop opening and for...

We quite like a podcast and we quite like the Isle of Wight, where we live.   So please say hello to QWightLike. A Podcast, and enjoy the pilot episode of our new, soon to be regular, riff on a range of subjects that resonate on and from the island including food, drink, music, art, culture, news, politics, life the universe and everything in between.   For this first episode we introduc...
