Once a month, we bring you a different topic from the hearts of Portsmouth (England) and Saigong (Vietnam) with humourous and interesting discussion from an eclectic blend of subjects. You can also find raw studio videos on our YouTube channel of the same name!

If you are a true eclectic with wide ranging interests then you may wish to join us regularly and if you have a specific interest area then why not just choose an episode which focuses on this subject area or choose something new to learn a bit about in a light-hearted and fun way. 

And, if all else fails and you can't find your specialist interest then just make a suggestion to Pompey Eclectic for an subject you would like us to cover in a future episode and, if selected, we will apply our unique brand of research, thought and humour to your episode subject request!]]>enImprovCopyright RIS33https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/bdde6369083ca25b5742c21f2c819300.jpghttps://www.spreaker.com/podcast/pompey-eclectic--6911276Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:31:19 +0000RIS33RIS33simonandphil@pompeyeclectic.ukWelcome to Pompey Eclectic with your hosts Simon the Cut, Shaolin Phil & Grampa Swampy.  We are often also joined by our co-host and pod-mascot, Phil's Budgie!
