A fictional folk podcast based in the Isle of Man is set to release six new episodes, one featuring a celebrity guest star. The ‘Mona’s Isle’ podcast focuses on the characters Ashley, Rory, and their father Arty, as they travel to the island and stay with the eccentric ‘Granny Mona’ to fulfil their mother’s last wish. Along the way, they meet fierce and friendly creatures while unearthing a ‘family secret that will change the island forever’.
Created by Ramsey’s Kyle Withington, the podcast features an predominantly Manx cast, with the original first eight episodes being aired last winter.

Talking about the podcast’s guests, Kyle said: ‘One of the things I love most about the Isle of Man is its one-of-a-kind theatre scene.
‘I spent most of my teenage years in different shows with many of the island’s incredibly impressive actors, singers and dancers. When it came to casting Mona’s Isle, it meant I could simply double-down on the contacts list.
