Welcome to the Deepdale Podcast, this is the July 2024 episode. This month Jason chats with two local residents, who both started life in Brancaster Staithe & Burnham Deepdale, and who like Jason went off to explore the wider world and found themselves being called back to the beautiful North Norfolk Coast.

First up Jason chats with Amanda Loose, the editor of North Norfolk Living magazine. Then we have a wildlife update from Oli of One Stop Nature Shop while he mans their stall at the Global Bird Fair. And then Jason chats with Martin Billing, serial entrepreneur and producer of the excellent North Norfolk the Guide.

Thanks for listening. If you enjoy the listen then please do leave a review and subscribe through which ever app or directory you usually get your podcasts. Best of all let others know about our little slice of North Norfolk life, and we hope you’ll join us for future episodes. The full back catalogue is available through any good podcast app. Enjoy this months episode.

02:04 - Amanda Loose

Editor of North Norfolk Living

North Norfolk Living magazine celebrates 20 years in 2024, and when Jason chatted with Amanda, she was deep into the editing of the bumper edition that hits shelves in mid July. Amanda chats about how she came to edit the magazine, what the magazine has to offer, and life before returning to the beautiful North Norfolk Coast.

17:09 - Oli Reville

One Stop Nature Shop

Thank you to Oli for another wildlife update letting visitors know what they can enjoy on the North Norfolk Coast. He updates us, while manning their stand at the Global Bird Fair at Rutland Water. A quiet summer so far, however excitement builds as reverse migration and wading birds move back through enroute to Winter locations. You can always pop into One Stop Nature Shop at Dalegate Market for up to date sighting information and of course a great range of equipment.

18:54 - Martin Billing

North Norfolk the Guide (amongst other things)

Martin chats with Jason about how North Norfolk the Guide came about, who would have thought it had a Las Vegas connection. He runs us through the range of retail outlets that he and his wife Sarah run in Wells-next-the-Sea and Burnham Market. And he explains how Norfolk Restaurant Week came about, and we discover that over 40,000 diners eat with the event each year.
