ABOUT

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

Life has changed radically since Covid-19 reared its ugly head and there are many challenges going forward as we adapt and try to return to some sense of normality.

This podcast aims to highlight what’s happening in the city using the power of the spoken word. You will hear from local businesses – we must support them to ensure their survival – and we will cover news and issues facing Chichester. 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!
