TALKING BALEARICS
Number 1 for news and views from IBIZA. Welcome to my 'MAN IN SAN AN' Podcast
TALKING BALEARICS - Current affairs podcast with myself in Ibiza & Richie Prior in Mallorca focussing on the Balearic Islands which has a thriving ex-pat population and almost 4M UK visitors every year.
MY IBIZA JOURNEY - in this series I talk to prominent people about their Ibiza journey, what the Island means to them & how it has changed over the years.
About Me: Described in the Ibiza press as a ‘friendly agitator’' and the UK's Daily Telegraph as a 'swaggering manspreader' (thanks to appearing in an ITV reality show), White Isle resident since 1991, Ibiza property expert & President of the British Association of San Antonio. Read my ‘Man in San An’ weekly blog & listen to my podcasts vía all the usual platforms.

Balearic Corruption Case, Germans Dwindling, Burnham's Back, Ibiza's Traditional Dishes, San An Identity Crisis, Club Overcrowding
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
A major corruption case ends with lengthy prison sentences, are German tourists falling out of love with Ibiza, and could a future government led by Andy Burnham expand youth mobility opportunities between the UK and Europe?
We discuss Ibiza's favourite local dishes, whether San Antonio is suffering an identity crisis while Magaluf powers ahead with a clear tourism strategy, and why a familiar face has been appointed as the new manager of Real Mallorca.
Plus, feedback from visitors suggests Ibiza's superclubs may be pushing capacity limits on their biggest nights. Are venues becoming too crowded, what are the implications for customer experience and safety, and has the balance between profitability and comfort shifted too far?
All this and much more on TALKING BALEARICS.
We are the only English speaking podcast covering the incredible Balearic Islands which has a thriving expat population and welcomed 19 million international tourists in 2025 including almost 4 million UK visitors.
