We Did It Medway is a bright, quirky, respectfully irreverent podcast, celebrating the best of Strood, Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham... and not forgetting Rainham. Or come to that the Peninsula.Each episode we take a fresh look at – and listen to – the rich culture, history and character of Medway.We love meeting and talking to people with a tale to tell. So in this first series – which is going live in mid-June – we’ve included the stories of Isaac Newell, born in Strood, who took football to Argentina: amazingly people who played for Newell’s Old Boys include Messi, Maradona, Pochettino and Bielsa.Then we go onboard the paddle steamer the Medway Queen, a true heroine of Dunkirk which had its 100th birthday in April. And we revisit the day Jimi Hendrix played Chatham.There’s also a sideways look at Charles Dickens, the gay heritage of Chatham Intra and women’s suffrage.</p
