Pompey People: The Portsmouth100 Podcast

Portsmouth's Express FM is proud to announce a brand-new storytelling podcast celebrating the people who make Portsmouth what it is.

Express FM presents… Pompey People: The Portsmouth100 Podcast will shine a spotlight on the voices, experiences and untold stories from across Portsea Island.

Supported by Delivered Social and Portsmouth City Council - and fronted by Portsmouth TikTok star, community champion and proud city ambassador Terence Carvalho - the series will capture the stories of the people who live, work and create in the city every day.

The podcast launches as part of both Portsmouth100 and Express20, marking 100 years of Portsmouth being a city and 20 years of Express FM serving the community.

We’re looking to hear from people across Portsea Island and share your story - wherever you are and whatever your background.

You might be:

• A small business owner helping keep the high street alive
• A student finding your feet in the city
• A frontline worker, carer or volunteer making a difference
• A creative, musician or content creator
• A lifelong Pompey local with stories to tell
• Or someone whose journey simply deserves to be heard

Pompey People: The Portsmouth100 Podcast is all about where the city has been, where it is now and where it’s heading next - told through the people who know it best.

If Portsmouth is part of your story, we want to hear from you.
