why margate needs a podcast
Margate is buzzing. Whether you live here or just visit when the sun’s out, there’s always something happening. But how do you stay in the loop beyond social media algorithms and fleeting headlines?
That’s where Don’t Miss Margate The Podcast comes in—a podcast made for the people who love this town, by the people who live and breathe it.
Margate is more than just Shoreditch on Sea
A Podcast for Margate, Not Just About It
If you’ve ever read a travel piece about Margate, you’ve probably seen the same themes repeated: ‘Margate is the new Shoreditch,’ or ‘The best seaside town for a weekend escape.’ While those articles are great for drawing in visitors, they barely scratch the surface of what makes this place special.
We wanted to do something different. Don’t Miss Margate isn’t just about highlighting the town’s best bits—it’s about uncovering the stories, businesses, and personalities that make Margate what it is. This isn’t a tourist brochure. It’s a real look at the people shaping our town, from indie shop owners and artists to historians who reveal Margate’s hidden past.
Why Margate Needs Its Own Podcast – And Why You’ll Love It
Each episode, we go beyond the obvious. In our first episode, we chat to: 🎨 Liminal Gallery – a tiny but mighty art space opposite Turner Contemporary. 🍷 Little Swift – the seafront wine bar that’s a local institution. 🍵 Chai Wallah Margate – a homegrown tea blender crafting unique loose-leaf blends. 📜 The Mysterious Historian – uncovering Margate’s unexpected role in the 18th-century ice trade.
These are the kinds of stories that rarely make it into big press coverage but are the beating heart of Margate. If you love discovering new places, supporting independents, and learning fascinating local history, this is the podcast for you.
