Reflecting on the HistBites journey, and our edible plans for 2021
HistBites is the brainchild of Nicky Gottlieb and Becky Brown, the festival directors of Winchester Heritage Open Days.
In this specially commissioned episode to introduce Season Three they talk to Emma Cornell Stoffer about their favourite podcasts so far, ranging from the colourful history of vintage King Alfred buses to the sometimes gory stories behind our popular sea shanties.
More exciting podcasts are planned. Look out, they say, for episodes covering Hampshire chalk streams, Florence Nightingale and the Chesil Railway-not to mention a mouthwatering schedule of events for Winchester’s 2021 Heritage Open Days celebrating Edible England.
Nicky Gottlieb and Becky Brown first met in the late autumn of 2017, following the inaugural Winchester Heritage Open Days festival. Since then they have become great friends as they have worked in partnership organising and promoting Heritage Open Days events in and around Winchester, as well as setting up Hampshire HistBites in 2020.
They have also founded a brand new charitable Trust - Hampshire History Trust - to oversee their work, and to develop new community projects across Hampshire.
They could not have done any of this though without the support and assistance of their amazing team of volunteers including the fabulous Emma Cornell-Stoffer who interviews them in this episode. They are also immensely grateful to sponsors Winchester College and Winchester BID.
