Ryecast

Making the news

Listen on

Episode notes

Meet Charlie Harkness. Known around town as a former editor of Rye News, he’s also served as a Rye Town Councillor, but there’s so much more to talk about. After a long career in journalism, he made the move into comms and ended up working in Westminster for the Labour government. 

On this week’s Ryecast there are stories about the press & politics, together with tales of some infamous Whitehall parties (not the one’s you’re thinking about). There are big stories and big characters, along with a fascination with Rye’s history and the reasons behind his drive to make the most out of life.

Charlie’s edition of the podcast is Ryecast number 25. Why not have a dig around in the archive to hear more stories about the people and places that make Rye so special.

Ryecast is produced and presented in Rye by James Stewart
