Round & About

It’s cold outside so tune in & book your tickets for Henley-on-Thames (HoT) Podcast Festival, a three-night live podcast celebration at The Kenton Theatre, 11th to 13th February

The inaugural Henley-on-Thames (HoT) Podcast Festival, co-founded by two local creatives, promises to transform The Kenton Theatre into a buzzing hub of conversation, storytelling and entertainment.  

The festival brings podcasts off the headphones and on to the stage with a line-up that blends travel, parenting, adventure and real-life grit. On Wednesday, 11th February, Travel Secrets The Podcast, hosted by travel-industry insider Tanya Rose, goes live. Expect an on-stage interview with Christopher Biggins, alongside local personalities, sharing global travel tales and insider tips. On Thursday 12th, the spotlight turns to Made by Mammas – Girls Night Out, the honest and hugely popular parenting podcast by Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton (above). They’ll bring their open, relatable conversations about parenthood, from social media and safety to fashion and everyday chaos, to Henley. All attendees will receive a goody bag too. 
 
Friday 13th features the first live recording of The Eternal Optimist Podcast, featuring adventure-athlete Ollie Phillips and co-host Sophie Storm Roberts. Fresh from rowing 3,000 miles across the Atlantic in aid of charity, they’ll bring tales of endurance, teamwork and pushing human limits to the stage, with fellow crewmates for what promises to be a wow-inspiring evening.
