Comedy podcast launched exploring 'history' of Haverfordwest
Harford: An Oral History is written and performed by comedy writer Dan Hooper.
The series, which began on February 20, presents a unique take on the town's past through the eyes of its inhabitants.
Each episode is a monologue exploring a different chapter of Haverfordwest's history, from an unsuccessful attempt to build the world's tallest building in the small town to a battle re-enactment that turned into a real conflict.
The stories are accompanied by experimental music to enhance the surreal experience.
The 10-15 minute episodes offer a break from the typical chat format, appealing to fans of absurd, surreal humour.
Mr Hooper said: "My aim was to create something layered and strange—like stumbling onto a late-night radio broadcast.
"I didn't want this podcast to follow the usual chat or interview format.
"Growing up in '90s Haverfordwest, it felt like nothing exciting ever happened.
"This podcast aims to change that, even if none of it is true."
Mr Hooper is an accomplished comedy writer and performer, having written for flagship BBC Radio 4 programmes such as The News Quiz, The Now Show, and The Show What You Wrote.
He was shortlisted for the BBC Wales New Drama award in 2017 and was a semi-finalist for the 2022 Nobbs Memorial Trust.
Harford: An Oral History is available to listen to now.

Comedian Romesh Ranganathan says he is ‘taking a step back' but not retiring
Comedian Romesh Ranganathan says he is 'taking a step back' but not retiring The 47-year-old from Crawley, known for his Bafta-winning TV series with comic Rob Beckett – titled Rob And Romesh Vs, emphasised that he will not be retiring Romesh Ranganathan on Desert Island Discs (Image: Chris Mills/BBC ) Comedian Romesh Ranganathan has said he is "taking a step back" from his career "to be at home a bit more". The 47-year-old from Crawley, known for his Bafta-winning TV series with comic Rob Beckett – titled Rob And Romesh Vs, emphasised that he will not be retiring. "I know that people sort of say I'm busy and I'm always like, trying to work and stuff. There is no strategy. There's no game plan. I have no end game," he told Lauren Laverne on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs. "There's no vision board or anything like that. (I'm) just doing whatever feels good." He added: "I do feel like I'm sort of settling into winding things up, like not winding things up, but I'm taking a step back. "I want to be at home a bit more. And by the way, this is not an announcement of retirement, but I do feel like, relatively recently, this is quite fortuitous that we're talking about this at the time that we are, because I have just hit this period of thinking I am probably going to just be a bit more measured in what I do going forward. Article continues below "I think I might take a bigger break between bits. I've told you, I've not hit the thing yet, maybe this next thing could be it, but it's not going to be it if I don't go off and just live life." Ranganathan also reflected on the time he spent as a maths teacher, before his current career, and said it was more stressful than working in comedy. "There wasn't a single day of that job that I didn't feel completely fulfilled," he said. "I felt very stressed. It's the most stressed I've ever been in my life actually. "There's not been a single day of my comedy career that's even come close to the stress that I felt as a teacher. I cannot speak highly enough of teachers and teaching and how I loved that job." Alongside his stand-up, the comedian is known for presenting game show The Weakest Link and starring in BBC One sitcom Avoidance. Article continues below He also starred in BBC Two documentary series The Misadventures Of Romesh Ranganathan and BBC Three's Asian Provocateur, which saw him trace his family roots.

Alan Titchmarsh says 'if it all finishes tomorrow' as he opens up on tough times
Gardening expert and ITV presenter Alan Titchmarsh, who has been on our screens since 1979, has opened up about his long career and says he has a "lot to be grateful for" Alan Titchmarsh has candidly reflected on his illustrious career and acknowledges he has "a lot to be grateful for". The beloved TV personality, who first graced our screens back in 1979, has a portfolio packed with shows like Ground Force, Gardeners' World, and the Alan Titchmarsh Show. At 76, the Yorkshire-born presenter reminisced about his initial steps in the limelight. He's lent his expertise to BBC Radio 4's You and Yours and The Today Programme as a gardening guru, and, even before fame, he edited gardening books and penned his own. However, Alan, hailing from Ilkley, West Riding, pointed out that "many people don't realise how difficult" life was in 1950s Yorkshire. He admits the need for "realistic aspirations" was a driving force in his early life. With just one O Level to his name upon leaving school, Alan began his journey as an apprentice gardener with Ilkley Council. His passion for plants propelled him through studies at the Hertfordshire College of Agriculture and Horticulture, leading to a coveted position at the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. In a frank discussion with Saga magazine, Alan offered this stark take on youthful ambition: "There seemed no point in having any." He humbly added: "So, if it all finishes tomorrow, I will have a lot to be grateful for. I'm of an age now where not many people my age are on the box, but I'm still doing new things and I've still got my hair." Currently embracing digital trends with recent ventures into YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, Alan is keen to "give people their money's worth". With a sense of gratitude, he comments on feeling "blessed" to prolong his tenure in media. Alan recently revealed that he's been cutting down on his workload, confessing that he's stopped working on Fridays and sometimes even Mondays. Discussing his choice to take a step back, he commented: "It's the old cliché, but you can't get it back", alluding to the invaluable time spent with loved ones. "My oldest grandchild has just hit 13 and you think, 'Oh crumbs! I've got a teenager as a grandchild now'." Together with his wife Ali, to whom he's been married for over half a century, they share two daughters, Polly and Camilla, and are proud grandparents to four. Despite not anticipating such a packed agenda at his age, Alan still relishes the work that keeps coming his way. The cherished television gardener is set to grace our screens again this week with Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh. Scheduled for 9.30am on ITV One, the show will feature guests Anita Dobson, Tom Allen, and Amol Rajan. Garden expert Camilla Bassett-Smith will give us a glimpse into her summer diary, while there's also a segment for wildlife enthusiasts to catch up with the brown bears at Jimmy's Farm. Andy Clarke will be on hand to talk about the top tipples and snacks.

Romesh Ranganathan reveals plans to 'step back' from career
Romesh Ranganathan is going to be 'taking a step back' from his career. Initially working as a mathematics teacher, Romesh then pursued a career in the entertainment industry. He's since become best known for appearing on shows including A League of Their Own, Taskmaster, and Have I Got News for You, as well as hosting The Weakest Link. However, after a decade on our screens, the 47-year-old has now revealed he wants to focus on spending more time with his family. This week Romesh was the guest on the latest episode of BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, where he spoke about his intense schedule. 'I know that people sort of say I'm busy and I'm always like, trying to work and stuff. There is no strategy. There's no game plan. I have no end game,' he told host Lauren Laverne. 'There's no vision board or anything like that. (I'm) just doing whatever feels good.' 'I do feel like I'm sort of settling into winding things up, like not winding things up, but I'm taking a step back,' he added. Romesh then discussed 'wanting to be at home a bit more' but that he wasn't calling time on his showbiz career. 'And by the way, this is not an announcement of retirement, but I do feel like, relatively recently, this is quite fortuitous that we're talking about this at the time that we are, because I have just hit this period of thinking I am probably going to just be a bit more measured in what I do going forward,' he explained. 'I think I might take a bigger break between bits. I've told you, I've not hit the thing yet, maybe this next thing could be it, but it's not going to be it if I don't go off and just live life.' In the interview Romesh also reflected on his past career, which he said was far more stressful than working in the entertainment industry. 'There wasn't a single day of that job that I didn't feel completely fulfilled,' he recalled. 'I felt very stressed. It's the most stressed I've ever been in my life actually. 'There's not been a single day of my comedy career that's even come close to the stress that I felt as a teacher. I cannot speak highly enough of teachers and teaching and how I loved that job.' Since appearing on Taskmaster and The Apprentice: You're Fired! In 2015, Romesh has fronted The Misadventures of Romesh Ranganathan, Judge Romesh and Rob & Romesh Vs. He has been married to his wife Leesa since 2009. The couple first met when working at the same school in Crawley, where she was a drama teacher. They share three sons – Theo, Alex and Charlie. Earlier this year Romesh spoke about how he came 'very close to ending his life' as a teenager. More Trending 'When I was 18 or 19 years old, I feel like I came very close [to] ending my life,' he told Runners World UK. 'I just couldn't see the point in carrying on. I was super depressed. Then I started to do suicide ideation, where you start to fantasise about it. He went on to share that mental health was still 'something I am still aware of' and he had to 'stay on top of it'.
