Episode 1 with Amanda White
Host: Ilsa Jones
Medi-Culture Conversations is the official podcast of the Medi-Culture Festival, celebrating health, science and wellbeing in the heart of London Bridge this Spring. Across a series of short episodes, we go beyond the festival programme to explore the ideas, research and people behind the events. From gut health and nutrition to creativity, movement and laughter, each conversation uncovers the science and stories shaping how we understand wellbeing today.
Hosted by Team London Bridge, the podcast features interviews with festival facilitators, researchers and practitioners. Together, we explore how culture, creativity and community can support healthier lives, and why London Bridge has long been a place where medicine and innovation meet. Whether you are attending the festival or simply curious about the intersection of health and culture, Medi-Culture Conversations offers a space to slow down, learn something new, and connect with the ideas behind the programme.
In this opening episode, Ilsa is joined by Amanda White, Arts and Culture Lead at Team London Bridge, to discuss how the Medi-Culture Festival first came to life. Together they explore the vision behind the festival, the organisations involved in its creation, and why London Bridge has become a unique place where medicine, culture and community meet. They also introduce this season’s programme, which focuses on gut health, nutrition and wellbeing, and share what listeners can expect from the conversations ahead.
