Welcome to the Bishop's Stortford Community Podcast.
We share real local stories and trusted local voices from Bishop's Stortford. Each episode is a relaxed, honest conversation with the people, businesses, clubs and charities that make our town a great place to live and work.
Hosted by James O'Donnell, the podcast champions everything good about Bishop's Stortford. No scripts, no hard selling, just genuine conversations and local pride.
Run as a Community Interest Company (CIC), so sponsorship really helps.
It helps fund production, gives grassroots groups a voice, and keeps every episode free.
New episodes regularly. Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a local story.

Bishop's Stortford Community Podcast
100 Episodes?
This afternoon we will be posting our 100th episode...
That feels slightly ridiculous to write.
The Bishop’s Stortford Community Podcast started with a simple idea: sit down with local people and give them space to tell their story.
100 episodes later, we’ve had business owners, volunteers, coaches, creatives, community leaders, campaigners, teachers, charity workers, organisers,politicians, parents, performers and proper local legends on the show.
A massive thank you to every guest who has given up their time.
Thank you to every sponsor who has helped keep the podcast going.
Thank you to everyone who has watched, listened, shared, commented, trolled, recommended a guest, or quietly encouraged it from the sidelines.
This podcast only works because local people keep showing up for it.
Here’s to the next 100. 💙
