It’s pod-tastic! Croydon Insider looks at 2024’s biggest stories

The Croydon Insider is back, with the latest episode of our news discussion panel podcast thingy…

And the last pod-tastic episode of 2024 looks back on the Croydon news of the past 12 months in the company of former BBC news reporter Neil Bennett, current BBC Wales reporter Sanjana Idnani, former Croydon FM presenter Cheryl Fergus-Ferrell and Andrew Fisher, who appears on all sorts of broadcast channels, as well as ours.

As our guests work their way through the charts of the most-read articles of 2024, they discuss Roy Hodgson’s retirement at Crystal Palace FC, the wave of gruesome murders in Croydon, and the multi-million-pound financial problems of the Whitgift Foundation, the Westfield non-development and the closure of Old Palace School.

Plus, there’s a bonus edition of Have I Got Croydon News For You, where the questions are different, but the answer’s always the same.

The Croydon Insider is part of our Under The Flyover podcast strand, premium content exclusively for paying Inside Croydon subscribers, available on Patreon and Spotify.
