Welcome to the June 2025 episode of the Deepdale Podcast, our magazine programme about North Norfolk. This month, Jason continues to meet fascinating members of the North Norfolk community. He chats with Nicky King, the coxswain of Wells-next-the-Sea RNLI, Iona Lane a musician inspired by the natural world who's playing a gig at Deepdale on 21st June, and Rosie Newport, a local artisan and passionate wild swimmer.As June is such a lovely month on the North Norfolk Coast, hopefully you'll take inspiration from Norfolk Wildlife Trust's 30 Days Wild and fit in some wildlife enjoyment. All three of the chats this month are with people who love the landscape, so naturally the conversation turns to enjoying the space, big skies and coastline that we have in abundance here.

RNLI Courtmac Coxswain Ken Cashman takes PJ inside the heart-stopping mission Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Those visiting Clare's waterways this weekend are being reminded that many drowning victims don't even intend to get into water. This May Bank Holiday, Water Safety Ireland, the Coast Guard, and the RNLI are collectively urging the public to prioritise safety both during water activities and when walking near waterways. Research shows that 36% of people don't know what to do if they get into trouble in the water. Clarecastle-based Chairperson of Water Safety Ireland Clare McGrath has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that extreme caution should be observed when walking along cliff edges and river banks.

In this episode, we take an in-depth look at one of the world's leading HEMS services—London's Air Ambulance (LAA) Charity. This conversation centres around the lesser-known challenges of sustaining and growing a top-tier HEMS service within the UK. From community engagement strategies to high-impact fundraising and marketing campaigns, we uncover what it takes to raise over £16 million to fund two new helicopters. We also go behind the scenes to examine the efforts that brought these aircraft into service, the obstacles the charity faces, and the vital role public support plays in its mission.Joining us is Jayne Clarke, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at London's Air Ambulance Charity. With a strong background in strategic leadership across the charity sector, Jayne brings expertise in marketing, advertising, and ethical banking. She previously worked with McCann Worldgroup before transitioning to purpose-driven roles, including leading major campaigns at the RNLI and serving as Director of Income Generation at St Peter's Hospice. Now, as she steers the charity into an exciting new chapter in 2025, Jayne shares her insights on what it takes to keep this lifesaving service in the air.

Kilrush RNLI is advising people to return to basics if considering going out on the water this Easter Bank Holiday Weekend. This weekend is traditionally considered the first time large numbers will take their vessels out of storage following the winter period. An emergency action plan should be in place with everyone onboard aware of the details, while further information can be gathered from the 'Code of Practice for the Safe Operation of Recreational Craft'. Kilrush RNLI Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer, Charlie Glynn, says basic checks should also be carried out on the vessel prior to heading out.

Flight Lieutenant Chris Sully watched the winching operations from the deck of the Port St Mary lifeboat and caught up with both teams to find out what was involved. The exercise took place in mid-December, at the end of the RNLI's bicentenary, with the organisation having been established on the Isle of Man.

2024 marked the 200th Anniversary of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, an organisation funded wholly by voluntary contributions, keeping our seas safe since 1824. In this episode we visit the volunteers and boat crews who are based at the Blackpool Lifeboat Station, one of the busiest in the country. On their open day in the summer of 2024 we find out what makes them tick and the motivation behind why they do what they do. Willing to risk their own lives in order to save others. We also weave the heroic story of Grace Darling into the podcast, whose actions assisting her father William saved many lives,  in a daring rescue that became national news in the 19th century. If you wish, you can donate to the RNLI here. It's your donation that really does go to saving lives. 

Kilrush RNLI is advising people to check weather and underfoot conditions when venturing out on coastal walks during the Christmas break. As part of its campaign to promote safety near coasts in conjunction with the Irish Coast Guard and Water Safety Ireland, people are reminded to take a fully charged phone out with them and to be aware of hazardous conditions near cliff edges. If you, or a member of your party gets into difficulty, the RNLI can be contacted by dialing 999 or 112 and requesting the coast guard. Kilrush RNLI Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer, Charlie Glynn says people shouldn't be hesitant about calling in a potential emergency and shouldn't put themselves in danger in an attempted rescue.

The bosses of an air show being held in Thanet has told the KentOnline Podcast there's no truth to the rumour it could have to be called off because of road closures. If the Manston International Air Show is to go ahead in 2025, it would mean major roads around the event would have to be shut – a move that could cause gridlock during the summer holidays. Also in today's podcast, a Nando's restaurant which claimed to have closed for “some DIY” was actually pest-proofing to help solve its “mouse activity” problem.Bosses were given a two star hygiene rating after the rodents were spotted by inspectors. Terrified neighbours say children “dicing with death” after climbing on roofs and into windows at an abandoned care home in Deal. The site is set for redevelopment but police have been called to reports of groups of youths accessing the derelict site. The head chef of a restaurant in Kent has told the Podcast what it's like to lose a Michelin star.You can hear from Graham Garrett, chef at The West House in Biddenden, on what it was like to lose the accolade after holding it for 16 consecutive years. And, charity volunteers have been left stunned after Home Bargains bosses would not allow a Father Christmas fundraiser to be set up in a Kent store.RNLI organisers had arranged for their Santa to collect donations from shoppers and dish out goodie bags to children – only for volunteers to be turned away on the day. 

Nuacht Mhall. Príomhscéalta na seachtaine, léite go mall. * Inniu an séú lá déag de mhí na Samhna. Is mise Alanna Ní Ghallachóir. Tá COP29 ar siúl san Asarbaiseáin faoi láthair agus dúirt uachtarán na tíre óstaí leis an chomhdháil aeráide gur “bronntanas Dé” iad an ola agus an gás. Rinne an tUachtarán Ilham Aliyev cáineadh ar “bhréagnuacht an Iarthair” faoi astaíochtaí na tíre, agus mhaígh nár cheart an locht a chur ar náisiúin, as stoc breoslaí iontaise a bheith acu. Tá pleananna ag an tír táirgeadh gáis a mhéadú sna deich mbliana atá romhainn. Go gearr ina dhiaidh sin, dúirt Ard-Rúnaí na Náisiún Aontaithe António Guterres, nach raibh bun ná barr leis an ghreim daingean ar úsáid a bhaint as bhreoslaí iontaise. Tá sé aontaithe ag ceannairí domhanda roimhe seo, go ndéanfar iarracht gan téamh domhanda a ligeann os cionn 1.5 céim Celsius níos teo faoi dheireadh na chéid, ach sáraíodh an teorainn sin cheana féin i mbliana. Chuaigh bean ar iarraidh ó Thrá na gCeann i gContae na Gaillimhe Dé Máirt. Ba dhuine de bheirt í a chuaigh amach ag snámh san uisce. Cuireadh scairt ar na seirbhísí éígeandála, nuair nár fhill an cumadóir aitheanta Johnny Duhan ar ais óna shnámh féin, agus fuarthas a chorp roinnt uaireanta ina dhiaidh sin. Bhí meascán seirbhísí ag tabhairt faoi chuardach na mná, na Gardaí, an Garda Cósta, an Chosaint Shibhialta, agus an RNLI ina measc, i dteannta le buíonta cuardaigh agus tarrthála as áiteanna éagsúla in Éirinn. Maidin Dé Sathairn, bhí an cuardach ag dul ar aghaidh ar muir agus ar tír, ón Spidéal go hÓran Mór agus soir go Cinn Mhara. Tharla sochraid Duhan, a bhí ceithre bliana is seachtó d'aois, ar an Chnoc Breac i gContae na Gaillimhe inné. Tá muintir Mháire Ní Fhátharta ag bailiú airgid ar líne chun cuidiú leis an chuardach, agus iad ag súil go mbeidh siad ábalta í a thabhairt abhaile. Aimsíodh fige 2,000 bliain d'aois i dtuaisceart Bhaile Átha Cliath ar na mallaibh agus dúradh gurb í an sampla is aosta de thorthaí andúchasacha a fuarthas in Éirinn. Thángthas uirthi i dtochailt seandálaíochta ag ceann tíre Dhroim Meánach, áit ina raibh stáisiún tradála tábhachtach de chuid na Romhánach lonnaithe, agus a aibhsíonn an seanstair trádála bia idirnáisiúnta in Éirinn agus an dúil sa bhia coimhthíoch. Tháinig na seandálaithe ar fhianaise ceardaíochta agus gníomhaíochtaí tí, earraí miotail agus criadóireacht as ceantair éagsúla in Impireacht na Róimhe: an Spáinn, An Ghaill, agus An Bhreatain. Mhair iarsmaí na fige agus bia eile a itheadh ann beagnach 2,000 bliain ó shin mar gur dódh iad agus dá réir sin leasaíodh iad. * Léirithe ag Conradh na Gaeilge i Londain.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2cergjjy Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com The composer Johnny Duhan is the one who drowned in Galway today. An cumadóir Johnny Duhan é an té a báthadh i nGaillimh inniu. Johnny Duhan, the well-known songwriter, is the man who drowned this morning after swimming at Head Beach in Bearna, County Galway. Is é Johnny Duhan, an cumadóir amhrán aitheanta, an fear a báthadh ar maidin tar éis sul ag snámh ag Trá na gCeannn i mBearna, Contae na Gaillimhe. The most popular song he composed was 'The Voyage', a well-known song which was covered by Christy Moore and had an album around it. ‘The Voyage' é an t-amhrán ba mhó tóir dár chum sé, amhrán aitheanta a chas Christy Moore agus a chuir album timpeall air. Johnny Duhan is originally from Limerick but settled in Bearna a few years ago. As Luimneach ó dhúchas do Johnny Duhan ach chuir sé faoi i mBearna roinnt blianta ó shin. He is survived by his wife Maureen, their five children, grandchildren and other relatives. Maireann a bhean chéile Maureen, a gcúigear páistí, garchlann agus gaolta eile. An extensive search began off the coast of Galway when he did not return home after his usual morning swim. Thosaigh cuardach cuimsitheach amach ó chósta na Gaillimhe nuair nár fhill sé abhaile tar éis dó dul ag snámh ar maidin, mar ba ghnách dó. It was not long after that that it came to light that another person, a woman in her thirties, was also missing from Head Beach. Níorbh fhada ina dhiaidh sin gur tháinig sé chun solais go raibh duine eile, bean sna tríochadaí, ar iarraidh freisin ar Thrá na gCeann. The emergency services were called when she did not arrive at work as expected. Cuireadh fios ar na seirbhísí éigeandála nuair nár tháinig sí ag an obair mar a raibh súil leí. The search was carried out by the Coast Guard, the RNLI and Civil Defense teams. Chuaigh an Garda Cósta, an RNLI agus buíonta den Chosaint Sibhialta i mbun an chuardaigh. Local people and some small boats came to help in the search, by land and by sea. Tháinig daoine áitiúla agus roinnt bád beag i gcabhair ar an gcuardach, ar thír agus ar muir. A body was found in the water this afternoon near Cuan Roisín between Bearna and Bóthar na Trá, some time west of the city. Thángthas ar chorp san uisce tráthnóna gar do Chuan Roisín idir Bhearna agus Bhóthar na Trá, tamall siar ón gcathair. It is an unusual incident for two people who did not know each other to be missing from the same place, and Gardaí are trying to understand how the events of the morning unfolded.. Eachtra neamhghnáthach é beirt nach raibh aithne ar a chéile bheith ar iarraidh ón láthair chéanna, agus tá Gardaí ag iarraidh a thuiscint cé mar a thit imeachtaí na maidne amach.. It was calm weather and a calm sea in the morning, but the fog of the day hindered the search. Aimsir chiúin agus farraige chalm a bhí ann ar maidin, ach chuir ceo an lae as don chuardach. The search for the woman had to be suspended at nightfall, but will begin again at sunrise. B'éigean an cuardach don bhean a chur ar fionraí le titim na hoíche, ach tosófar ina bhun arís le héirí na gréine. Local people are gathering early in the morning to search the shore between Bearna and An Spidéal Tá daoine áitiúla ag bailiú le chéile go moch ar maidin le dul ag cuardach an chladaigh idir Bhearna agus An Spidéal

One of the biggest open water swimming clubs in the country will be celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.  From an initial membership of just three, Atlantic Masters Swimming Club has over 100 members and has achieved so much in the past 10 years from at least 100 crossings of Galway Bay to the big Channel Swims like the English and North Channel. It has also raised a vast amount of money for various charities including Cancer Care West, RNLI, OMCSU plus many more. To celebrate this achievement, the club will hold an exceptional anniversary night out in the Ardiluan Hotel on November 16th with a 3 course meal, wine reception and some very special guests. Fergal Madden and Christina Hyland joined John Mulligan in the studio on Saturday Sport. 

Eine Gruppe von Freunden fuhr mit dem Boot auf dem Ärmelkanal und hoffte, dass sich das vorhergesagte stürmische Wetter ändern würde. Aber der Wind nahm zu, die Wellen wurden stärker und bedrohten die Sicherheit ihres Bootes. Also riefen sie über Funk die RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) um Hilfe. Nach einigen angespannten Momenten sahen sie ihre Retter in der Ferne und erkannten mit Erleichterung, dass sie bald in Sicherheit sein würden. Mein Freund meinte dankbar: „Egal, ob die Leute die Regeln der Seefahrt ignorieren oder nicht, die RNLI kommt immer zur Rettung.“

Some friends went boating in the English Channel, hoping the forecast for stormy weather would change. But the winds rose and the waves became choppy, threatening the safety of their vessel, so they radioed for help to the RNLI (the Royal National Lifeboat Institution). After some tense moments, they spotted their rescuers in the distance and realized with relief they’d soon be safe. As my friend reflected gratefully afterward, “Whether or not people ignore the rules of the sea, the RNLI still comes to the rescue.” As he recounted the story, I thought about how Jesus leads God’s search-and-rescue mission. He came to Earth to become a man, living as one of us. Through His death and resurrection, He provided us with a rescue plan when our sin and disobedience separated us from God. This truth is emphasized by Paul, when writing to the church at Galatia: “The Lord Jesus Christ . . . gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age” (Galatians 1:4). Paul reminded the Galatians of the gift of new life they received through Jesus’s death so that they would honor God day by day. Jesus, our rescuer, willingly died to save us from being lost. Because He did, we have life in the kingdom of God, and in gratitude we can share the life-saving news with those in our community.

Joe's just back from a trip to the Isle of White where he over-ate and also had quite a few compliments from the locals about The Cockfields. Being a big supporter of the RNLI, he also took the opportunity to visit their station in Bembridge and tells David about watching one of the boats launch. Then for some reason, David remembers that David Walliams has swam the English Channel and so they want to find someone who's done that too, to ask them what it's like. Talk then inevitably turns to moving to the Isle of White and also, who gets the ball rolling on discussions about stuff like that with their wives. They then consider loads of other locations across the UK as possibilities to relocate to - so much so that it soon develops into a ‘yes or no' game show.

In this episode of 5 O'Clock Apron Podcast Claire cooks with RNLI lifeguard Gavin Philpotts. The podcast is recorded in the sand dunes above Sennen Beach, just below the lifeguard hut. With the sun shining bright and the lifeguard's radios in bleeping distance, Claire and Gavin carve a space to cook with a lifeguard rescue board as their work surface. Claire arrives with some mackerel bought that morning in Newlyn and the pair get busy preparing a tabbouleh to go alongside, Gavin also contributes some roasted beets which he brought from home that morning. With the iconic 90's TV series Baywatch as Claire's reference for all things lifeguard, coupled with the countless lifeguards Claire and her family spot on Cornish beaches each summer, meeting and cooking alongside Gavin was a real highlight. We talk saving lives, long distance swimming, rip currents, weever fish and where lifeguards go in the wintertime.Huge thanks to RNLI for covering Gavin as he cooked with us, after all lifesaving can never stop, for whatever the reason, my podcast included.Find out more about the RNLI and Sennen beach here: Sennen Beach - RNLI Lifeguarded Beach in CornwallFollow Claire at 5 O' Clock apron on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/5oclockapronMake this recipe.

Ella Al-Shamahi talks to two women from Wales and Goa rescuing people in trouble on the coast. Vivienne Grey was one of the first women to become a crewmember at Little and Broad Haven RNLI in Wales when she started as a volunteer in 1990. She's been involved in more than 120 ‘shouts' on the lifeboat and is credited directly for saving the lives of eight people. She's now training coordinator at the lifeboat station and works part-time as a teacher. Vivienne also volunteers with the local Coastguard Rescue Team. Ananyaa Bath is a lifeguard and lifeguard trainer in India. She works for Drishti Marine, a safety and life-saving service, which has 400 life-savers patrolling Goa's 103km coastline.Produced by Jane Thurlow(Image: (L) Vivienne Grey, credit RNLI.

In the tempestuous waters of the 18th century, a revolutionary idea emerged from the depths of despair and necessity: the lifeboat. Born from the genius of Lionel Lukin in 1785, the invention redefined maritime rescue. Amidst the roaring seas, innovations flourished and a new institution was set up. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) which has been saving lives for 200 years, is funded entirely by donations.Hayley Whiting, Heritage Archive and Research Manager for the RNLI joins Dan to tell the tales of dramatic rescues past, including Grace Darling who braved heavy seas and treacherous winds to rescue the passengers of a steamship that suffered a catastrophic engine failure and wrecked off the Northumberland coast of England in 1838.You can find out more and donate at www.rnli.org/200Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal Patmore.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.
