Episode 8 (S3) - Brews, Armada, and other diversions.

As we settle into a 3 week cadence between episodes to increase our planning time and to decrease the competitive pressures on your listening choices, we take time to celebrate activities enjoyed on and off the island. After all, we qwight like the Isle of Wight and we quite like lots of places off-island, especially, as it makes coming home a further bonus.

From the Duver by Bembridge, to the whiff of fete at Riverfest in Newport. From the pirate shantys and cannon volleys off Ventnor and Bonchurch to the Higher Grounds of a new immobile coffee destination in Ryde. From the Needles to the Nab Tower, we serve up a smorgasbord of things to do on the island.

Meanwhile, plans for a French sojourn in Brittany and reports of Wembley winners, wrap up another episode of topical chat and stories to entertain and inform. Galleons of tea and coffee were consumed in the making of this podcast in tribute to those that have gone before us.

Wrapping up with a sprinkle of political drama with dead heats, casting votes, and friends of the podcast playing all the major roles, we slip this episode into Spotify’s loading tray with a sense of accomplishment, and with pressing deadlines, a hint of relief.

Thanks for listening

Tim and Rory

We quite like a podcast and we also quite like the Isle of Wight, where we live. So here is QWight Like. A Podcast. A love letter to the island we call home covering varied subjects such as food, drink, music, art, news, politics, life, the universe and everything in between. Our episodes will cover topics that resonate on the island and from the island, aiming to both entertain and inform. Come and visit this glorious place and enjoy the food, the views, the clean air and the people. In the meantime, enjoy our gentle riffs and be gentle, we're new to this.
