About this listen

Get ready for News at Ten-ish – the brand-new, totally unbiased, completely serious (ahem) news podcast brought to you by One Fylde Radio.


Hosted by the brilliantly sharp Polly Tickle, this is the news show you didn’t know you needed – covering one or two of the week’s biggest national or international stories, but mostly diving deep into the weird, wonderful, and often ridiculous world of Fylde Coast news.


Expect dry wit, a heavy dose of sarcasm, and a satirical take on the headlines – because let’s be honest, in times like these, if you’re not laughing at the news, you’re probably crying into your overpriced pint.

    🎙️ New Episode Out Now — News at Ten-ish 🎙️

    This week, Polly Tickle delivers the dry, sarcastic news wrap you didn’t know you needed:

    🛂 Labour tightens immigration and tongues — Keir Starmer's "strangers on an island" moment leaves eyebrows raised and care homes wondering who’s left to staff them.

    🏛️ Reform UK take over councils and quickly learn that you can’t fix roads with Facebook posts.

    🗺️ Local government reform returns! (Because what councils really need is a fresh rebrand and another three tiers of meetings.)

    🕊️ Ukraine and Russia edge closer to talking — or at least to booking the same venue.

    ✈️ Donald Trump’s Qatar-funded plane raises questions about ethics, security, and whether it comes in gold-plated MAGA.

    Introducing News at Ten-ish – where the headlines are serious, but we absolutely aren’t. 🎙️

    In our debut episode, Polly Tickle takes you through the week’s biggest stories with her signature dry wit and unfiltered sarcasm. Expect international drama, national nonsense, and local chaos, including:

    🗣️ Trump vs. Zelensky – Diplomacy meets disaster as Donald does what Donald does best: start an argument.

    🇬🇧 Europe Stands with Ukraine – The UK and EU make a very public attempt to clean up the mess.

    ✈️ Blackpool Airport’s Big Plans – Because nothing says ‘bold ambition’ like hoping for flights in five years.

    🚨 Bonny Street Police Station: Demolished – Will it be replaced by something useful?

    💰 Kirkham’s £10 Million Glow-Up – Big money, big promises… and hopefully more than just a new bench.

    AFC Fylde Sack Another Manager – The job security equivalent of a revolving door.

    Blackpool’s Life Expectancy Woes – We officially out-grimmed Glasgow. Achievement unlocked.

    🎙️ New Episode Out Now — News at Ten-ish 🎙️

    Polly Tickle returns with the only show brave enough to ask:

    🗳️ Reform UK: The rise of angry voters — or just the loudest at council meetings?

    🛡️ UK defence plans dusted off — because nothing says "prepared" like ration books and royal bunkers.

    🤖 Trump’s AI Pope pic — when politics, technology and very poor taste collide.

    🎬 Foreign films? Not on Trump’s watch. Tariffs incoming. Subtitles beware.

    From the serious to the seriously ridiculous, News at Ten-ish covers it all... sort of.
