Podcasts about Chepstow

Fear of the unknown has always been a source of crippling anxiety for puny humans, and it pays to scry the future at any available moment. Whether you've got one eye on the 3:30 at Chepstow, on that recent headline about an escaped leopard, or on that pair of plimsolls in the window of Freeman Hardy & Willis for Saturday afternoon, you simply can't out-run destiny (and those plimsolls look great #BuyTheThings). Yes, the mists are clearing at The Peggy Mount Calamity Hour as our hosts return once again to their beloved Paradise Lodge and find that You're Only Young Twice. A visiting clairvoyant brings dire forebodings to those who treat her less than reverently, and since that's Flora default-setting it's safe to predict trouble by tea-time... How culturally insensitive is it to write A Locationally Undisclosed Foreign Character™ into your sitcom if the associated performer doesn't even attempt a remotely recognisable accent? How fast can you make an elderly woman ride a motorcycle down a cobbled street before the insurance overseer has a fit of the vapours? And how is Blackout supposed to plan a road-trip if Geography as we know it is a mere construct of Yorkshire Television? Press Pause, consult Google Maps, press Play then find out...

Before billionaires dreamed of setting up communities on Mars, the ocean was seen as the next frontier in human habitation. Reviving this dream is Deep, a project backed by an anonymous millionaire to the tune of more than £100m that aims to establish a ‘permanent human presence' under the sea from 2027. Guardian Seascape editor Lisa Bachelor visited the project just outside Chepstow on the Welsh border, and tells Madeleine Finlay what scientists hope to learn about the ocean by spending extended periods living underwater.

The first episode of Champions: Full Gallop, the second episode of Flutter versus Arena Racing Company and the third episode of British success in Ireland's 2024 Classics are up for debate in the latest edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead reviews the launch of ITV's new jump racing docuseries, assesses the wider response to the programme and examines the all-important early ratings. Next up, James Stevens reports on the second bout of hostilities between gambling giant Flutter and Arc, whose Chepstow meeting on Thursday was partly shunned by Flutter brands Sky Bet and Paddy Power. We then move on to the weekend's racing highlights, particularly You Got To Me's Irish Oaks triumph, before the team takes an early look at this Saturday's King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Qipco Stakes. 

Tom is joined by broadcaster Jane Mangan to first of all address the news that Flutter have reignited their media rights war with Arc, offering no early prices on today's racing from Chepstow. We then hear from Racing Office Manager at the Aga Khan Studs, Nemone Routh, who confirms the Juddmonte International is the likely target for brilliant Royal Ascot winner Calandagan.

Throughout July, All Things Considered will be coming from the ancient boundary between Wales and England – Offa's Dyke. Each week, we explore a different section of the border as we travel from Chepstow to Prestatyn, joined by voices from the borders sharing their stories of faith, encounter and identity.This week Jonathan Thomas explores the idea of ‘borders' and identity, starting at St. Mary's Capel y Ffin. Here Jonathan meets Father David Wyatt at the tiny 'chapel on the border,' a focus of pilgrimage for centuries and the source of inspiration for William and Dorothy Wordsworth. Jonathan walks a stretch of the Offa's Dyke route with vicar and pilgrimage leader Simon Lockett. Starting at the Gospel Pass they head past Hay Bluff towards Llantony to discuss identity in the border lands. Jonathan speaks to pupils at Clyro Church in Wales School to hear their perspective on living on the borders. The children explain that they see borders as a point of connection, a place to forge new friendships and to hear different languages. Canon Dr Manon James of the St Padarn's Institute shares insights into her research into Welsh identity and border lands. At the end of the Offa's Dyke path Jonathan meets Baptist minister Rob Beamish to discuss journey's endings.

Suzy Webster is very special. She's a mother, daughter, wife, and for many years carer to her mum, Barbara. In 2012, after Barbara developed dementia, she and Suzy's dad, Gordon, came to live with Suzy and her family in Chepstow. When I first met Suzy over a decade ago, I was struck by her quiet determination, her love for her family and her wonderful way with words. I can still remember her telling a conference that her parents had moved in with her and her family so that they could have “the dementia adventure together”. So simply put. Yet behind the phrase lay the endless reserves of love and courage that those of us who have followed Suzy and her mum's story have witnessed over the years. This is Suzy's third appearance on Well I Know Now and there is a sadness to this episode and a reason why Suzy is joining me once again. For late in 2022, having weathered the dangerous and turbulent years of the pandemic, Barbara died aged 75. Her death has, inevitably, left a massive void in her daughter's life.“Who am I now? What do we do without her? I began to grieve more than one mum; I missed holding her hand – as a little girl on the school run, as my go-to person in my young adult life, and her warmth as the constant presence in our lives as her dementia progressed,” Suzy told me. Adding, “Does that make sense?”It absolutely does, Suzy. And I'm sure it will resonate with many listeners. The death of a mother, a mum, touches places deep inside us, exposing emotions we didn't even know existed – at least that's what I found, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. In fact, whenever I talk to Suzy I know that I'm with someone who really understands, who knows what I went through with my mum, and I think this is why Suzy has proved such a popular guest. Others feel this too.Suzy and I are here today to talk about her loss, but also her future, her hopes and plans as she enters a new chapter of her life. Hosted on Acast.

'Twas the weekend before Christmas, and all through the Final Furlong Podcast studios, not a creature was stirring... except for Emmet Kennedy, Katie Young, and George Gorman. They hop on the gravy train for the Christmas Racing Special, featuring confident bets at 8/1, 7/1, 6/1, & 5/1. The team kicks things off with the staying chasers, providing a full preview of the King George VI and the Savills Chase. All three team members share bullish opinions, and they delve into the big handicaps, including the Paddy Power Chase and the Coral Welsh Grand National. George and Emmet are convinced they've cracked the Chepstow showpiece. They also discuss horse boarding on NAP material for the Jack de Bromhead Christmas Hurdle while favoring value in the Paddy's Rewards Club Chase. Additionally, they highlight Novice Hurdlers to follow, and Emmet takes on the favorites with an each-way Lucky 15 bet on the four Grade 1 Novice Chases: Faugheen at Limerick, Kauto Star at Kempton, Racing Post & Neville Hotels Novice Chases at Leopardstown.

To mark Halloween, Duran Duran have released Danse Macabre, a “spooky concept” album. Samira talks to Simon Le Bon and John Taylor about working with Nile Rogers, covering The Specials' Ghost Town and taking pop music seriously. This evening Filkin's Drift play the last of almost 50 concerts, concluding their two month that has seen them travel 870 miles…on foot. The duo has walked from gig to gig, carrying their instruments. As they reach Chepstow they tell Samira about their approach to sustainable touring and how this connects with ancient Welsh bardic tradition. Born in 1923, the artist Dobrivoje Beljkasic found refuge in Bristol after the outbreak of the Bosnian War. His daughter Dee Smart and author Priscilla Morris celebrate his life and legacy on the centenary of his birth, marked by a new exhibition in Sarajevo. George Orwell's seminal Nineteen Eighty-Four continues to occupy a lauded, and sometimes controversial, position in political discourse and popular culture three-quarters of a century after it was first written.

After Chris' milk market report this week, Will, Ben and Becki are joined by Lyndon Edwards, AHDB's Dairy Sector Council Chair and a dairy, beef and arable farmer from near Chepstow.

They discuss the proposed levy increase and how this would enable further work in these areas plus other areas of focus to deliver value back to farm. Lyndon discusses with Becki what they are doing to change the narrative around dairy emissions, reframing the cow as the hero in the story and the need to concentrate on the positive benefits of dairy. They also touch upon the recently appointed five extra agri-food attachés from the government to help boost the UK's agri-food export and what this could mean for the industry and future of dairy.

Bruce Millington is joined by Graeme Rodway and Mark Boylan to preview the festive racing action from Kempton, Chepstow and Leopardstown. The panel begin by previewing Monday's Boxing Day card at Kempton, which hosts four Grade 1s including a cracking-looking King George VI Chase. Is it between the top two in the market or do Mark and Graeme think an outsider could land the spoils? Chepstow's highlight is Tuesday's Welsh Grand National and the team agree on the same horse in one of the festive period's biggest handicap chases. Across the Irish Sea, Leopardstown puts on some top-quality action for racing fans. Graeme Rodway thinks we may be treated to the Willie Mullins show. The team end the show by giving their best bets for the Christmas period. 18+ BeGambleAware https://www.racingpost.com/landing/offers/members-club-welcome-offer/?utm_source=Video&utm_medium=UppingTheAnte&utm_campaign=MembersClubAcquisition&utm_content=AdVarA&utm_term=Null

George Elek is joined by Ed Quigley and Danny Archer who calls in from sunny Morocco to preview the UK Christmas racing schedule from Kempton.The guys take a look at both the 26th and 27th, as well as a look at the Welsh Grand National from Chepstow and a brief look at the action from Leopardstown in Ireland.The King George takes centre stage as ever at Kempton with Bravemansgame and L'Homme Presse at the top of the market with the former current favourite at a best price of 15/8 but as short as 13/8 in places. Hitman is another in the field who takes Ed's eye as Paul Nicholls looks to win the race for a record 13th time, lining up with Bravemansgame and Frodon also to complete his treble.After being abandoned due to frozen ground last week, the Long walk Hurdle was added to Kempton's card. Champ and Paisley Park retain favouritism with the former looking to go back-to-back having won it last year. Both Danny and Ed have their reservations and are looking elsewhere for this one. McFabulous is the favourite to land the Kauto Star Novices' Chase next up and now into 11/10 having been as big as 13/8.The Christmas Hurdle gives us another chance to see the brilliant Consitution Hill in action as he takes on Epatante once more. The question in this one is how many will line up on the day itself with ten entered at present. The final race on the card at Kempton is the Ladbrokes Handicap Hurdle with Danny Archer very keen on Theatre Glory.Over at Chepstow on Tuesday meanwhile, Ed has his best bet of the festive period in the Welsh Grand National.
