Mark Ovenden

This is the UK’s only weekly FM and DAB radio show discussing transport and design history. Mark Ovenden’s 'Chatting Art, Transport, Communications History' (it’s a “CATCH-cast”), is broadcast Friday evenings between 6 and 7 and available later as an online podcast. Previous guests have included Tim Dunn, Christian Wolmar, Gareth Dennis and many other luminaries from the rail and design industry.

Mark was brought up on the island and after a career in media on the mainland (including working for the BBC, MTV, Kiss FM) he’s now back here on Vectis Radio to help pass on some of the radio skills he learnt there in our 4P’s program. Mark is also an author of many books about design, architecture and history (and recently graduated with a Masters Degree in Railway Studies) and he’s passionate about bringing some of those fascinating facts to Fridays on Vectis Radio.

So if you are the kind of person who loves delving into oddly geeky subjects, have a listen to Ovenden Chatting Art Transport Communications History, Fridays at 6pm, on Vectis Radio.
