A new lockdown podcast by creatives for creatives: The City Island Podcast.
East London’s creative and culturally-inspired neighbourhood London City Island has teamed up with onsite music production company Three Bears Entertainment to launch The City Island Podcast, a podcast series for creatives by creatives that promises to inspire, entertain and educate during this lockdown period.
With the majority of summer festivals and gigs already cancelled (including Glastonbury’s 50th anniversary), labels, venues, artists and road crews are all under huge financial strain. With a different celebrity guest star each week, the podcast series will offer support to the UK’s creative industry during this difficult time and raise money for the charities close to their hearts that have been affected by the pandemic.
Curated by Dantae Johnson, the first series of City Island Podcast focuses on the narrative of ‘home’ and is set to welcome some of the UK’s hottest artists across six episodes, each hosted by musician and founder of Three Bears Entertainment Dantae Johnson, Flex FM presenter Kiesha Fort Hercules, and co-anchored by award winning, Oscar shortlisted, London based music producer, Pete Boxsta Martin. The podcast series also brings a taste of what is to come for Three Bears, who have just launched a podcast room at their new The Woods Studio located on phase 1 of London City Island.
Kicking off during Mental Awareness Week, the first series will provide light-hearted, jovial, entertaining content underpinned by award winning talent sharing their tips to ease coronanxiety and their own diverse stories of getting through lockdown. Each star guest will share their at-home essential Spotify playlist, discuss their charity of choice and encourage listeners to donate, and answer a series of questions centred around home.
