We Did It Medway
We Did It Medway is a bright, quirky, respectfully irreverent podcast, celebrating the best of Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham… and not forgetting Rainham. Or come to that the Peninsula.
Each episode we take a fresh look at – and listen to – the rich culture, history and character of Medway.
We love meeting and talking to people with a tale to tell.
So in this first series – which is going live in mid-June – we’ve included the stories of Isaac Newell, born in Strood, who took football to Argentina: amazingly people who played for Newell’s Old Boys include Messi, Maradona, Pochettino and Bielsa.
Then we go onboard the paddle steamer the Medway Queen, a true heroine of Dunkirk which had its 100th birthday in April. And we revisit the day Jimi Hendrix played Chatham.
There’s also a sideways look at Charles Dickens, the gay heritage of Chatham Intra and women’s suffrage.
And our guests include BBC Sport’s South American football guru, the ‘Legendinho’ himself, Tim Vickery, Kelly Tolhurst MP and Lauren Edwards, who of course will be competing for your vote this year and Emma Harper from the Dickens Museum in London.
So remember We Did It Medway will be available on all your usual podcast providers, and check us out on Facebook @WediditMedway.
