Porty Podcast
The Porty Podcast is a community project, highlighting events in and around Edinburgh's seaside - Portobello! It's a very active area with sailing, rowing and kayaking on the Forth, a vibrant artistic community and a strong sense of identity which makes it slightly separate from the other parts of Edinburgh.

280 50 Swims for Maggie's
Happy New Year and welcome back to another season of The Porty Podcast.
Have you ever walked along Porty Prom and watched the open-water swimmers on a cold January day braving the freezing air before walking into the cold sea? There’s a bit of madness on New Year’s Day when the ‘Loony Dook’ takes place; but to keep going throughout the month despite most weather conditions takes some determination. One Porty resident has given herself a big incentive – raising money for a cancer charity. Annabel Meikle has set herself the challenge of doing “50 Swims for Maggie’s”!
