Introducing Dock Chat – The Official Podcast of The Historic Dockyard Chatham
As part of the Chatham Historic Dockyard Trust’s 40th anniversary celebrations, we are excited to announce the launch of our new podcast, ‘Dock Chat’. The podcast is hosted by John Robinson, an experienced radio presenter and dedicated volunteer at The Historic Dockyard Chatham.
John has contributed as a volunteer researcher at The Historic Dockyard for the past 10 years and plays an integral role within the team.
