A NEW celebrity podcast is set to launch from Weymouth and a special meet and greet will be taking place to promote its debut this weekend.

The new Cockney and Scouse Podcast is promoting a new TV drama which is currently in production and will be hosted by star of the show and former Love Island contestant Tyne-Lexy Clarson who will be joined every week by fellow actors David Easter and Stuart Antony, as well as special guests.

Tyne-Lexy will be doing a meet and greet upstairs in the Tropical Turtle on Saturday, August 21 from 3pm to promote the podcast's launch where members of the public will have the opportunity to meet and take pictures with the podcast hosts.
