ABOUT

The Chi Pod is Chichester’s very own podcast created by journalist and broadcaster Duncan Barkes.

It first saw life in 2020/2021 during the pandemic when the podcast highlighted some of the businesses and local people who were doing great things and deserved local support.

There’s a lot of good stuff happening in Chichester and a podcast is an excellent way of bringing this to people through the power of the spoken word which is why The Chi Pod has returned.

We have a focus on local independent businesses as well as lifestyle news and the arts. Topped off with anything else that can be classed as ‘local interest’, this podcast is about people, places and passion.

And it’s about Chichester; a city that we choose to live and work in because, quite simply, it is one of the best places of the UK!
