Port Cities and Maritime Cultures - a new podcast from the University of Portsmouth - focuses on the past, present and future importance of the waterfront and coastal communities. Too often such places and their peoples have been forgotten and marginalised. In each 30-minute episode, Dr Guy Collender interviews researchers to find out about the peoples, cultures, cargoes and ships found at sea, in port, and along the coast. The podcast is produced by the Centre for Port Cities and Maritime Cultures at the University of Portsmouth.
