Richard glanced at the clock. His daughter Jo was never late, but it was after 4 pm, and there was no sign of her. It was quiet in the gift shop on South Street, so Richard saw no harm in stepping outside to see if Jo was nearby. He half expected to see her ambling home from work experience, probably with a smile on her face. When Jo wasn't there, Richard grew concerned. Jo's world consisted of just four places within the market town of Bridport, and she wasn't at any of them…*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, audio editing assistance, script editing, and production direction by Benjamin Fitton.Become a ‘Patreon Producer' and get exclusive access to Season 1, early ad-free access to episodes, and your name in the podcast credits.

THE WRECKAGE OF US It's always the husband... Isn't it?Astrid Webb is missing. The police have found her car crashed near the woods, the driver's door open, the seat spotted with blood. But there's no sign of Astrid herself, a sick woman who rarely left her house, who surely couldn't have left the scene of the accident without help.Her husband Bryan is sure that she's alive - after all, this isn't the first time she's vanished, only to reappear without explanation. But as the days pass, Bryan starts to look like a suspect in his wife's disappearance, perhaps in her murder. Because Bryan isn't telling the police the whole truth. Not about Astrid's stalker, their broken-in back door, or the threatening messages she received. And it seems as if both Astrid and Bryan have something to hide.Then a woman's body is found in the woods, her face terribly disfigured. By staying silent, is Bryan protecting Astrid, or protecting himself?DAN MALAKIN has twice been shortlisted for the Bridport Prize, and his debut novel, The Regret, was a Kindle bestseller. When not writing thrillers, Dan works as a data security consultant, teaching corporations how to protectthemselves from hackers.

Autumn is the time for literary festivals, including the mighty 10-day Cheltenham Literature Festival, London's South Bank, the small but beautifully formed Cliveden and many more including Bridport, Petworth, Stratford, Henley, Harrogate, North Cornwall, Braemar and more. But this week we're going to war-torn Ukraine to feature the Lviv Book Forum, in collaboration with Hay Festival, which runs in a bomb shelter between 6th and 9th October. We talk to the courageous and undaunted Programme Director, Sofiya Chelyak, and to the human rights KC, Philippe Sands, celebrated author of East West Street, The Ratline and a new book The Last Colony. Philippe will be attending the extraordinary festival alongside Henry Marsh, Misha Glenny, Margaret Atwood, Yuval Noah Harari, Elif Shafak and Margaret MacMillan. It's actually the 29th edition of the Lviv Book Forum, Ukraine's biggest literary festival, but given the war it's had to be shrunk and with Hay's support, it's defiantly going ahead with just 40 writers. As its digital partner for the first time, Hay will broadcast the conversations free in English, Ukrainian, and Spanish. Sofiya describes the festival as running ‘in defiance of the evil that seeks to squash their freedom,' and so we applaud and admire its efforts to keep these vital conversations alive and deepen our understanding of this little-known, vast and complex country.

A trip to Bridport to have a mooch around and do some food shopping, and a trip to Abbottsbury Castle (née Hill Fort) and I suddenly remember why in my bus timetable research last year I realised I had to get to Abbottsbury early in the day... Lack of late connecting buses at Bridport! So no Abbottsbury artworks bar a consolation piece waiting for the 5:50 bus so went back and did some pieces on the beach and got very cold in the evening wind. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jaunt/message

Bridport je jedno z těch anglických přímořských městeček, ve kterém zaparkovat auto na dvě hodiny znamená seškrabovat z něj racčí trus. S velkou pravděpodobností trus racků stříbřitých, kteří s prominutím kálí, kudy lítají, a výkal to bývá ministerský.Všechny díly podcastu Glosa Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Mat Goggin joins us for episode 3 of The Firm & Fast Golf Podcast. Mr. Goggin is - a genteman, grandson to Gordon, son to Lindy, a former Australian Amateur Open Champion and touring pro, lover of dogs and horses and public access golf. When Mike Clayton first told Mat that he was involved in the Barnbougle Dunes project in Bridport, Tasmania, the now 7 Mile Beach course developer Goggin, wondered why Bridport and not Hobart. After an unsuccessful application to take the lease of a public access golf course, Goggin resolved to leave no stone unturned in furthering his dream to build a community focussed golf facility that would provide opportunities, inspiration and access to great golf. This is Mat's story.....

The year is 1985. Durga is visiting her grandmother Mary in rural Malaysia. It's not a particularly happy occasion: Mary is tough and sharp-tongued, and “home” sparks bad memories for Durga. But a fireworks accident that sends Mary to hospital begins to unravel family secrets that had been building over generations, built by both Mary and Durga. Fragile Monsters, the debut novel by Catherine Menon (Viking, 2021), jumps between the Malaysian Emergency and the Eighties to explore themes of gender, class, and ethnicity in telling a story about a dark family history.  In this interview, Catherine and I discuss the historical setting of Fragile Monsters: a time period that normally doesn't feature in mainstream English-language fiction. We talk about how she explores memory and shame, gender and race.  Catherine Menon is Australian-British, has Malaysian heritage and lives in London. She is a University lecturer in robotics and has both a PhD in pure mathematics and an MA in Creative Writing. Her short story collection, Subjunctive Moods, was published by Dahlia Publishing in 2018. Her short stories have won or been placed in a number of competitions, including the Fish, Bridport, Bare Fiction and Short Fiction Journal awards.

The world has seen so much since 1515, the Plague, two world wars, an industrial revolution and nearly two dozen changes of monarchy. One constant through all of that, maintaining its service to Bridport's locals and surviving fires and floods alike, is Britain's oldest family business - R J Balson & Son.We speak to the current custodian, Richard Balson, who carries the torch for the 26th generation of the family business. He tells us about the seemingly perennial demand for their personal customer service, their strong relationship with the community in Bridport, and how they've had to evolve their business to suit trends and technological advancements that could only be dreamt of in the butcher's early years.This episode covers:The incredible tales of meat sales and methods of refrigerationExceptional customer service as one of the business' foundational valuesTracing their business and family lineage back to the 16th centuryEvolving their offering to suit modern food lifestylesOffering a personal service to everyoneLinks and References: https://lizleanpr.co.uk/podcast-runs-in-the-family/Connect with Liz: https://bit.ly/3lnFclpConnect with Leila: https://bit.ly/3bTwVSU

In this episode of Keen On, Andrew is joined by Simon Winchester, author of Land, to discuss the origin, history and modern-day notion of land ownership. Simon Winchester, OBE, a British writer, journalist and broadcaster, was born in north London on 28th September 1944, the only child of Bernard and Andrée Winchester (née deWael). Though not Catholic, he was educated first at a boarding convent in Bridport, Dorset and later at Hardye’s School, Dorchester, Dorset – where he achieved the dubious dual distinction of being appointed Head of House and of soon thereafter being expelled for conducting a spectacularly destructive chemical experiment in the newly-opened science laboratories. After taking time off to hitch-hike around Canada and the United States for almost a year between leaving school and entering university, he went up to Oxford in 1963, to read geology at St. Catherine’s College. There he became involved in the University Exploration Club, and was the member of a six-man sledding expedition onto an uncharted section of the East Greenland ice-cap in 1965. He then made a sudden and unexpected switch to journalism in 1967, a short while after reading, while in a jungle camp in Uganda, a copy of Coronation Everest by James (now Jan) Morris. This account by the then correspondent of the London Times – which published the first exclusive report of the success of the Everest expedition, on 2ndJune 1953, by happy coincidence the day of the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II – triggered in Winchester what he later described as a ‘Pauline conversion’ – and though he was to refer to geology in many of his subsequent writings, he turned some days after reading the book to a new career in newspaper reporting, and was to remain a full-time writer for the rest of his working life. In 1969 he joined The Guardian, first as the Newcastle upon Tyne-based regional correspondent and later as Northern Ireland Correspondent, based in Belfast. He remained in Ireland for the next three years – during which time he was named Britain’s Journalist of the Year, in 1971 – and covered all of the major developments in the territory, from the British government’s introduction of internment without trial of IRA suspects, through the events of Bloody Sunday in Londonderry in January 1972, to the British army crackdown during Operation Motorman. During this period he became a frequent commentator on and contributor to BBC radio. He was also briefly detached from Ireland to Calcutta, to undertake his first foreign assignment for the newspaper, covering the war that led to the independence from Pakistan of the new Bengali homeland of Bangladesh. Following Washington he was posted in 1977 to New Delhi as India Correspondent,– driving the family Volvo to India from Oxford, in the days when it was entirely possible and congenial to drive through Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan – and there covered events across the region that included the period of Emergency Rule of Indira Gandhi, the Soviet-backed coup d’etat in Afghanistan, and the various assassinations and small wars that characterized the subcontinent for the next three years.

This is the second in a little series of holiday reflections about golf and the Christian life. Feel free to share them with your friends.When Fijian golfer Vijay Singh stepped onto the first tee for the final round of the 1998 USPGA, he was setting out on the most important 18 holes of his life. He was tied for the lead with Steve Stricker. They were both trying to win their first Major. Earlier that morning, Singh's young son had farewelled him with a simple message, which Vijay wrote on a piece of paper and pinned to his golf bag. “Papa,” it said, “trust your swing.”Vijay did exactly that, and won his first Major. It's one of the paradoxes of golf. The more you think about the shot in front of you, the more you worry about what might happen, the harder you try to avoid all the disasters that might befall you, the more likely you are to send the ball scuttling off at 45 degrees into the bushes. Anxiety, tension, thinking too much, fear of failure—these are all fatal to good golf. The good golfer practises until he has a swing that he can repeat with a fair degree of reliability. And then, when he stands over the ball, he goes into his regular routine and repeats that swing, trusting that it will work for him, as it has countless times before.But trusting your swing requires mental courage. You stand over the ball and look up at your target. The flag is 170 metres away, into a stiff breeze, across a lake, with bunkers everywhere. At that moment, it seems hard to believe that a smooth, relaxed, back-and-through swing will give you the best chance of hitting the green. Anxiety starts whispering in your ear. Your hands grip the club a little tighter. You struggle to stay calm as you take the club back. And then at the top of the backswing, some part of your lizard brain initiates a violent downward thrashing motion, as if you are trying to kill a snake. The result is a predictable piece of self-sabotage. Didn't trust the swing. Staying calm and trusting the swing is the rational thing to do. It yields the best results. But it's still hard to do when the heat is on, and your playing partners are watching, and all the memories of previous disasters are flooding into your mind. In the Bible, ‘faith' in God is trusting your swing. It's relying on what we know to be true about the supremely good, supremely powerful God who has loved us in Jesus Christ. We know that God is reliable and good and generous. We know it from how he has acted, not only in the history of Israel and supremely in Christ, but also in our own lives. We know that trusting God always turns out for the best, because he has promised that he will always work for our good—and we know that he always keeps his promises.But trusting God is also an act of mental courage. We know that God is supremely trustworthy. But it's amazing how often we find ourselves standing over the ball, paralysed by the obstacles in front us, gripped by anxiety, and worried about what others will think of us. Some irrational part of our sinful brain screams at us to trust our instincts, or what everyone else is saying, rather than to stay calm and trust God. And so against all sense, we self-sabotage our way to another disaster. Trusting God is not some mystical quality or some non-rational leap into the dark. Trusting God's word is always the most rational, the most sensible, the most effective thing to do. It always turns out best, not only because God's ways are so good, but because God's promise is unshakeable. All we have to do is trust. If only I could remember that on the first tee.PSThis is a free public edition of The Payneful Truth.

Interview: Eve’s Cidery | Cider Review: Eve’s Cidery’s DeRidderJoin hosts Gabe Cook, Grant Hutchison and Martyn Goodwin-Sharman through these turbulent times by checking in to the Covid-free Neutral Cider Hotel!The guys go through blending cider, buying houses and an off the cuff discussion of apple varieties.In the news, Gabe kicks off things with some bad news about this year’s The Big Apple event in Herefordshire, whilst discussing his pie selection and fingering process. Martyn then humbly brings up his own writing for Graftwood as “news,” before delving into the journalistic mecca that is Bridport & Lyme Regis News for some cider-sciencetory! Finally, there’s a deep discussion on the etymology of the word “cheers”, featuring the worst impression of a gay icon from a half-cut Martyn.This week’s interview is the boy’s first trip out of the UK!

"On A Free Day, You Can See Forever." A play on the title of the song, "On A Clear Day," this is my Monday Moodscope podcast from the blog of the same name. I'd lost sight of the future with all the noise of this current crisis and the internal chatter of a worried mind. So, I took a "Free Day." I bunked off in the middle of the week and went West to Lyme Regis and then Colmer's Hill near Bridport. There were some lessons waiting for me in the relative quiet, lessons I share in this podcast. I wrote the music too. The track is on Soundcloud, and it is called, "Picture the Future," after the name of the main preset I used from Sample Logic's "Bohemian" sound library.

Quotes from the Episode “The first story I ever had published was a runner-up for the Bridport prize in the UK. I thought at the time it was maybe the only thing I’d ever get published.” “All that time I spent workshopping other people’s stories really helped me become a better editor. In essence, it’s the same skill.” “When I think something’s about 90% done, it’s really 50% done.” “I think if you’re not working to expose something deep and scary, then in a sense, you’ve already failed.

When the Scottish writer William Sharp died in 1905, his wife revealed a surprising secret: For 10 years he had kept up a second career as a reclusive novelist named Fiona Macleod, carrying on correspondences and writing works in two distinctly different styles. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll explore Sharp's curious relationship with his feminine alter ego, whose sporadic appearances perplexed even him. We'll also hunt tigers in Singapore and puzzle over a surprisingly unsuccessful bank robber. Intro: In 1904 Mrs. Membury, of Hyde Corner, Bridport, Dorset, set out to make a snake of stamps. In 1996, mathematician Michael J. Bradley noticed that his son's Little League rulebook specified a geometrically impossible home plate.
