INTRODUCING HAMPSHIRE HISTORY PODCASTS – HISTBITES

  • Post category:Blog

Gosport Heritage Open Days will be working with the Histbites team to cover culture in the wider Hampshire area.
The Histbites team have created more than 60 episodes since the launch in the summer of 2020, and covered everything from bell ringing to school dinners and the history of chocolate. Mysteries in the New Forest and Spitfires in a Hampshire ballroom have been discovered as well as tales of some incredible Hampshire women. On the podcasts there are fascinating educational sessions on how to access archives and how to create your own oral history projects. Please check out:

The latest podcast talks about the Hampshire Chronicle, which has served as a spotlight for important events across the county.

At a glance, Winchester is a city preserved in history—sheltered from the winds of time and change. Upon closer inspection, you will discover that there are new stories and developments happening around every corner. It’s the job of Andrew Napier and a dedicated team of journalists to find these events and bring them to readers across the county.

Week after week for 250 years, the Hampshire Chronicle has been a steadfast source of news. With the internet and social media becoming increasingly important elements of our lives, how has the Chronicle adapted?

What are its plans for the future?

Andrew Napier tells the story.
