The Bishop’s Stortford Community Podcast shines a light on the people, businesses, and projects that make our town what it is.
Each episode is a short, relaxed conversation with local business owners, community leaders, creatives, and local legends. We talk about what they do, why it matters, the challenges they face, and the impact they are making in Bishop’s Stortford and beyond.
This isn’t polished PR or salesy interviews. It’s real stories from real people, told in their own words.
What you’ll find here:
• Conversations with local businesses, charities, sports clubs, and community groups
• Honest insights into building something locally
• Regular shoutouts to people doing great work in the town
• A growing archive of Bishop’s Stortford stories
How you can support the podcast:
• Support us via The Giving Lottery: www.givinglottery.org.uk/support/bishops-stortford…
• Local businesses interested in sponsoring future episodes can drop me a DM

Bishop's Stortford Community Podcast
100 Episodes?
This afternoon we will be posting our 100th episode...
That feels slightly ridiculous to write.
The Bishop’s Stortford Community Podcast started with a simple idea: sit down with local people and give them space to tell their story.
100 episodes later, we’ve had business owners, volunteers, coaches, creatives, community leaders, campaigners, teachers, charity workers, organisers,politicians, parents, performers and proper local legends on the show.
A massive thank you to every guest who has given up their time.
Thank you to every sponsor who has helped keep the podcast going.
Thank you to everyone who has watched, listened, shared, commented, trolled, recommended a guest, or quietly encouraged it from the sidelines.
This podcast only works because local people keep showing up for it.
Here’s to the next 100. 💙

Bishop's Stortford Community Podcast
50 episodes...
When I started The Bishop’s Stortford Community Podcast, I had no idea where it would lead.
Since then, we have sat down with business owners, volunteers, campaigners, creatives, councillors, coaches, organisers and local legends from every corner of town.
Thank you to every single guest who trusted me with their story.
Thank you to the sponsors who backed the idea early and helped keep it going.
Thank you to everyone who has watched, shared, commented, messaged, or told someone else about an episode.
This podcast has always been about one thing.
Shining a light on the people quietly making Bishop’s Stortford better.
50 episodes in.
We are only just getting started.
If there is a local legend we should feature next, send me their name.
And if you want to sponsor the podcast going forwards drop me a note and we can put together a package that works for you.

Bishop's Stortford Community Podcast
From March, I’m committing to publishing 20 new interviews every month on the Bishop’s Stortford Community Podcast.
That’s 20 conversations with the businesses, clubs and community leaders who make this town such a great place to live and work.
Alongside that, we’ll be releasing around 60 short-form clips across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
To support that growth, I’m opening a limited number of sponsor slots for March.
I will be caping sponsorship at 8 businesses per month so it stays trusted and effective.
If you’d like your business consistently visible across the podcast and clips next month, drop me a message and I’ll send the details.
💙
