The Listening Zone

‘The Roving Ear Audio Book to Hampshire and the Isle of Wight’ gives you a privileged access to the Counties’ rich heritage. The Head Agister, a man whose title goes back to the days of William the Conquerer, takes you on a journey through the New Forest where he is charged with the care of the area’s famous ponies. Sir Edward House, baronet, introduces you to Braemore, his ancestral seat for hundreds of years. And moving archive audio tells the memories of Eva Hart, a survivor of The Titanic.

Featuring 15 audio documentaries, this audio book gives great insight into the history, heritage, and day-to-day life of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, including archaeology, the inspiration for writers and poets, and ideas for family days out. The Hampshire Magazine describes this production as “… fascinating and entertaining … and will inspire you to visit many of the County’s hidden gems”, whilst the Romsey Advertiser says it is “… a treat … really interesting programmes”.
