Northern Lights: Scottish Lighthouses

Throughout 2020 events will be held around Scotland to celebrate and recognise the importance of the country’s coasts and rivers. Scotland’s coastline, including its numerous islands, is over 10,000 miles long while the country is home to more than 31,000 lochs.  Together the many rivers and streams around Scotland cover more than 77,000 miles.
 
Its coastline has been protected for more than 200 years by several on and offshore lighthouses, built to aid those navigating the perilous waters.   In the programme you are about to hear Scottish broadcaster Stuart McFarlane speak to several people who all share a real interest and passion for the history and heritage of these impressive coastal watchtowers.

Water We Watching?

Every Second Thursday @ 10pm

Water We Watching is a half-an-hour podcast about the wonderful world of water-based films. It’s a conversational podcast commenting on the multiple aspects of films set in, around or under water. It has a slight comedic nature to it given the ridiculous niche that’s been set but is also hopefully somewhat informative; basically just some fun.

The Bridge Zone

Brought to you by Free FM in Hamilton

The game we know as Contract Bridge departed from ‘whist’ with the creation of ‘Biritch’ (or Russian Whist) in the 19th century, and evolved through the late 19th and early 20th centuries to form the present game.

The Bridge Zone is a radio show and podcast encouraging fellow Bridge players to share the passion that Barry Jones and Mereana Cullen have in playing this challenging game.

The programme is supported by New Zealand Bridge and Hamilton Contract Bridge Club
