She told the County Press: "When two journalists meet up for something like this you get podcast gold.
"Alan told us of his 37 years on the County Press and how the newspaper is ‘in his blood’.
"We talked about the Island’s big news stories, how much has changed here during his tenure and what big Island news stories he’s keeping an eye on for the future.
"We also got to find out five favourite things Alan loves about the Isle of Wight.
