Eastside Dairy owner Peter Clarke is retiring and selling up after more than two decades.

Eastside Dairy owner Peter Clarke is retiring and selling up after more than two decades.

Hey everyone, welcome to this week's edition of the Whanganui Chronicle's weekly podcast.

It's a wrap of some of our biggest and favourite news stories with a bit of insight into the Chronicle newsroom and what goes into producing your local news.

News directors Simon Waters and Zaryd Wilson host the show this week and are joined by the NZ Herald's Wellington-based reporter Melissa Nightingale who was back in Whanganui last week and paid a visit to her old newsroom.

We discuss our three-part series on Whanganui's water, Whanganui man Adrian Campbell's remarkable effort to lose 100kg, our day with guest editor Mike Lane and Eastside Dairy owner Peter Clarke selling up after more than two decades.

We also discuss Friday's Coroner's hearing into the Waverley Crash which killed seven people in 2018.
